I'd like to let everyone else know that going into business with anyone but yourself is a BAD idea.
You are wise beyond your years Pete
Very sound advise. I've long thought the same thing. Just as bad as loaning money to family, they feel since they are family there is no rush to pay it back, if at all.

Evenin' folks. Finished the third P90X workout earlier. This is soo coolio!! I have to head to San Diego next week, and I'll just toss my bands in my case and keep it going!

Had some dinner, showered (HOT as I could stand it on the sore muscles!), and now I'm relaxing a little. Today was Shoulders & Arms, plus Ab Ripper X. Tomorrow is Yoga X. I previewed it a little today, and it's the longest one so far! Over an hour and a half... Should be interesting. Never done yoga...

Three days down, 87 to go!!
