Best thing that ever happened to me and the best age to start anew and/or do your own thing. <br /><br />You actually know what you are doing in your forties and you are still young enough to do it. I started a business at 42 that has lasted 20 years and I'm still having fun.<br /><br />Also no better time to start, than at the bottom of an economic curve. Seriously the best time to start something new.<br /><br />Of course I was 42 at the time and you are 43, don't know if the extra year fucks up the theory.<br /><br />On a sadder note this is my favorite Warren Zevon performance. Letterman gave him the whole night and it being unfortunately his last appearance on Letterman, Warren gave him his guitar after the show ended. Great song.WILLYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16507295892199741837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5328427.post-69755655289207447162010-03-15T10:13:06.420-04:002010-03-15T10:13:06.420-04:00Got your back, friend.

Many of us have been there -- but at not such a tender age.<br /><br />Let's hope that in a tough economy your hiatus won't last long.Owen Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06464860078574618579noreply@blogger.com
