Beautiful, Tony. Just beautiful! My first reading of the New Year and it was the right one! I have also rationalized and made the mistake of not contacting a mentor under similar circumstances, and with similar results. Your willingness to expose your missteps and vulnerabilities just kills me. You make me laugh at you and admire you all at the same time. Your ability to be honest with yourself when the truth is presented to you is a great strength. Maybe, second or third only to your courage and inquiring intellect. Once again, I can't help but say, you continue to be an inspiration to me. Happy New Year, and my best to Kathy.
