[Leica] Ooops

[rgacpa at yahoo.com (Bob Adler)]

Yea. Real PITA ain't it!
;-)
Things I've sold for "them"
1. 2 year old luxury SUV
2. IRA (mine and spouses)
3. Inheritance (meager, but helpful)
3. Family antiques
4. Camera equipment
5. Time (took job with 4 hour daily commute)
6. Time (still working to build retirement back up from raiding the IRA; 
fortunate to have a job)
7. Time (working 2nd jobs)

Weird though; I always felt I came out on top....

It's wonderful that you have chosen to live your life in your own way;
and that you're content with your decision to hold your Leica M glass in 
storage, Mark.

Other's have chosen to live in a "we" state;
which includes life partners, children and grandchildren,
home mortgages; in other words ? larger households.

I doubt that I am alone in saying that over 5 decades
my various families have, at times, sacrificed on behalf of both my art and 
business.
At other times they have benefited from that same art and business.
Sometimes, "I" have to sacrifice for "them."
