No longer living on the crumbling edge of the abyss, you've achieved what I think of as orbital velocity -- all that hard work over the past few years has turned you into an industry pro with a solid reputation. You've earned it, and as a result, are finally able to make a decent living working steadily when so many people all over the country can't find a job. That's definitely something to be thankful for. <br /><br />It's not easy to do what you've done, particularly for a female in what has long been considered the man's world of grip/electric. For better or worse -- and like it or not -- you are now a free-lance veteran like the rest of us.<br /><br />Congratulations, and welcome to the club...Michael Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02569781786039595929noreply@blogger.com
