So a bit more than a decade ago I was living in southern California owning a graphics and advertising business.

It was still small but growing and solid. One morn I looked around and said to myself that considering all the trouble I was born with I had done okay.

Immediately I felt as if I had been punched in the stomach. I knew - having been here before - that to think all was well would invite disaster.

Within a month of that moment the CA economy crashed. I lost my major client when they wwent out of business. My second largest cut back traffic to less than a third of what I had been doing.

Lost my business, house, money, car, stomping grounds, friends, associates.

I actually try not to be too happy. Kine ahorra!
