Last 4 Month's Report Card
===========================

Now that we are at September 16th, I am entering my fifth month of freedom, self employment or whatever you want top call it. I refuse to call it unemployment anymore, as that is a way of saying what I am not doing, rather than what I am doing. And that's a bit of a downer.

"All right smart guy", you might say, "Then what have you been doing? You obviously have not been looking for a job." Well, let me tell you what I have been doing. And allow me to point out that I have come to the conclusion that I really do not feel like working "for" someone else but working "with" someone else. Any way, so here is what i have been up to:
