I've been called in to help out today at.... (gulp) .... *work*.
A long-time customer is visiting and I have to provide some sense of
corporate continuity.

Gotta get this over with so Sam and I can go back to the boat.

Take him to the boat, wine him and dine him....at your expense, of

Is it even possible to have a bad day on the water? I'd suspect that
short of fire, sinking, or heart attack, one could find the good in just
being on the boat...

Well, I for one am not afraid to admit, there have been a couple of
times when I figure I would have been better if I had stayed home...
Only one or two, but it has happened.

Then again, if you remember correctly, on those two occasions...

Not bad. He awarded the company a $800+K contract for a new thin film
system.

Nah, I don't get any "chunk". I have a long term "consulting" deal that
pays just about minimum wage, but keeps Mrs.E. and I eligible to participate
in the company's health care program.

When I was a kid living outside of New Haven, CT., I had a summer job
mucking horse stalls for a guy that raised and trained thoughbred racing
horses. Not for me. In addition to the .... well .... you know, I was
also allergic to the hay dust. I swore I'd never do it again and I haven't,
despite Mrs.E.'s three horses.

If you want to get bored to tears, here's what I ended up doing for a
living:

Geeze....I had much fancier summer jobs than you did...cleaning out
boilers, loading trucks and freight cars, drinking beer.
