Hi,

Thanks, Michael, for your observations which, as usual, made me think.

Since I can't make a career of my passion, I guess I'll put this to the test.

I'll see if I can construct a sort of modular passion, while doing what I'm best at.

Dien and Sandy suggested ways of minimizing the unsatisfying parts of being in business. You suggest increasing satisfaction by increasing the amount of the reward.

What you've all suggested sounds right--I'll report back later on with my results and observations.

best,

-Boyd
