Yes! I quote myself while reading the first snipped paragraph above; "Wow. I'm suddenly feeling really old. (as I slumped in my chair) 20 years?" I've struck out on my own attempting to start a business building decorative outdoor woodworks, particularly footbridges (www.jamesstyles.com) I've worked businesses of my own but with much help and pre-fabbed products, but this is the first time I've struck out in the traditional sense "from the ground up, on my own." Yesterday I went out to visit my first customer and wanted to invite my father along but was unable to locate him in time. My mother asked why I wanted dad along and I told her that I wanted his presence to convince the customer that this was a solid business with an aged, experienced man a key member. That and dad's taken an interest in the business but can only offer his wisdom at this time. She told me "You know you're an older, experienced man yourself. You don't need your father to help you." I don't know. At 34, I still feel very young and inexperienced till I realize half my life (or more!) is already gone! Soon, I'm sure, my conversations will start steering towards dentures and canes! ------------------------------ End of alloy-digest V7 #233 ***************************
