I don't feel under pressure to "make a living". I enjoy what I do. If I did not, I suppose that I would retire.

Life is good!

YES.  I did that on Friday.  Did not look at my phone once - not once. I was not on email - the computer was off and I did not resume until Saturday morning. 

And you know what Richie Alan Naggar ???

No One Died.  The World did not End. And the responses that NEEDED responses were responded to in ample time.  

I am in control of my time, what I choose to do when I choose to do it, and who I choose to enjoy it with. 

I leave the grinding to the organs and the monkeys.

Actually no.  My foot was off the gas for 22 months after an injury and frankly I was ready to put it back on the gas.

You are right. Everything is more peaceful.
Then people come looking for the money I committed to pay and the peace proves temporary.
