It's my 15-year anniversary!
Advertisements [?]
For my business, that is. Started it in October, 1992.

Started it when we had $700.00 on the bank, and a Sears credit card I used to buy my first Mac. (Remember the LCII?)

I'm proud of myself, if you all don't mind me saying so: Fifteen years of supporting my family ONLY based on my ability to deliver the projects my customers hired me to do. I took ALL the responsibility, and ALL the risk, even through those two hideous surgeries that left me partially disabled and unable to work as much as I used to be able to do.

And I have the satisfaction of knowing that the marketing programs I've done for my customers, because my work has been effective, has enabled my customers to grow and expand and provide more good, well-paid, AMERICAN jobs than they'd have been able to do without the work I did for them.

I could absolutely not have done it without Mrs R's unwavering support and hard work, of course, but I'm going to take a moment here to give myself some credit, too.

Thank you all for taking the time to read this.

Redstone
