Every time I read your post, it's this part that gives me a headache!
LOL...... well that's a hard job considering the publik skools we now have...... But lets not forget the cruises, conferences, radio show, tv or tv appearances, press or news releases, editorials, trips to various events to speak, ..... all this is in the name of educating the publik..... imo. Hey I think it would be nice to see the west coast this time of year... Heck I know of a conference we can attend for an hour or two or maybe I can give a little talk..... wanna come along and enjoy this educating experience....
