That's very nice of you -- yes, I'll take you up on that offer -- maybe tonight.

Like I said, one of the issues is my sudden turnabout in mindset -- suddenly going from trusting everyone, to trusting NO ONE.

For years I've just assumed that could launch any number of things and get any number of new things rolling. Just pluck them off the shelf.

Then I tried actually doing it (some of them). Not as easy as I thought. Mainly because it seems impossible to get the ideas a hearing by the audience I am after. And, as I say, the rejection ratio is NOT in proportion to the merits of the idea(s).

I'll continue this later -- gotta go now.
