Well, sort of! We leave early in the morning to visit family and then I'm off to conference 3. I get to see Janetupnorth while in Milwaukee - she promised to not spill the beans on all the announcements and I know she's pretty strong so I don't think I'll get any pre-announcements out of...

Just need to get some perspective here. I try never to mix family and business because I've found the combination usually doesn't mix. I've tried to help out my family for years and I've always gotten the short end of the stick and I refuse to help my family any more. I end up the bad guy...
