I often wonder if there is any connection or story behind some of the user names I see.
There is with mine, so I'll start this off by sharing it.
In 1998, when we sold our company, after the papers were signed and the windfall was comfortable in my hands, my attorney, who had represented me in numerous prior business transactions, turned to me and asked me "So what's next for you now that this is over?" You see, he knew me to be a "serial entrepreneur" since I had been involved in a couple of start-ups over years.
I paused for a moment, took one deep, relaxing breath, and said. "Nothing. I'm done."
"C'mom, I know you better than that. You just expect me to believe your going to cash out and sit on your butt for the next 50 years?" he said.
"Yup. I'm done. I don't have the heart for this anymore." I said.
So every time I would see him after that, he would say "Well heck! Here comes ole "cash out!" then he would proceed to harass me about not being "in the game" anymore and tell me how he was still just one of the working stiffs.
What about you all?
