I guess your idea makes alot of us think about why we don't "ditch that dead end job". I spend more than an hour each morning and each night in the car just getting to my "dead end job"....why... I dunno.... I guess maybe I realise it has provided me with my house, car, boat etc..as has yours. I lack the courage to break free, so good on you, I admire what you are doing and wish you luck.
(now back to work for me... what was I doing..Oh yeh... job costing spreadsheets...yawn..)

Neither did Bono, but then what do you expect if you walk around in dark glasses all the time!!
