		<description>While I suspect RobVG, FrankC and I could do as good a job far less expensively, I can understand that living on the SE coast of Florida imposes some financial constraints upon one - too cheap and you&#039;d be frowned upon.

A couple of things to remember.  Heroin is an inexpensive, readily available painkiller.

It&#039;s always darkest just before it turns pitch black.

Mistakes are merely stepping stones to failure.

Diplomas can be faked.

An expensive office is often a way to cover incompetence.

They lie - all of &#039;em.  The truth isn&#039;t in them.

Knowing that you can relax and never be disappointed.  Remember, your job is simply to hurt.  That&#039;s all you have to do, they do all the work and have all the responsibility.  That narrows it for you.  Just relax, and hurt.

Let them do their thing, knowing if you die they will look bad so they would rather that didn&#039;t happen.  And remember, I&#039;m here for you, a bundle of cheer, a role model for handling discomfort.  Well, maybe that last isn&#039;t true, but I do know that other people can handle things with grace and dignity.

Seriously, good luck and relax.</description>
