Wrong on so many levels, even moreso now that I've taken a serious blow on the real estate front. When I'm not out chasing ambulances, I spend my days dreaming of a lifestyle that would allow me to train for hours on end, participate in far-flung athletic events, and translate correspondence between ancient philosophers and '50s recording artists from the original Greek, Latin and Coptic.

No kidding. I bought a Coke yesterday with my debit card. I think the total was like 1.48 or something like that.

The only time you should want cash in a transaction anymore is if you're in the middle of some sort of tax dodge.

I have a theory that Arch is a trust fund kid and maintains a law office for appearances. Arch, you don't have to respond.

If I had a trust fund, would I bother having a law office?

No I'd be triathloning full time, and doing what the rich and famous do. I'm a wage slave like everybody else. However, if my family members were less of spendthrifts retirement might be more a reality than a chimera.

That would be correct. I actually went 17 months without a paycheck. I don't recommend it to anyone.

I am hoping when this project is complete I can break even after paying off my revolving debt.
