There's been a lot internal change going on with EARSXXI, PlasterCITY and DFE. I certainly hope for the best. Sometimes you really need to shake things up to get one step closer. The most important aspect of what I do is to stay true to the BIG PICTURE, no matter the obstacles; however, one has to be able to earn the DOLLAR as well. This is where Elyse comes in. There's no reason why the two shouldn't go hand 'n hand. The big problem for me is TRUST. I've been knocked down, ripped off and criticized for being CRC for most of my life that I have developed a pretty hard shell when it comes to TRUST. And I am not saying this is a good thing, just that it comes with the territory in my line of business. One always has to look over their shoulder. And, the weight sometimes weakens the shoulders. Now having said this, I want you all to know I am still hopeful. I do feel I have the tools, the friends, and business partners to pull off the big PAH picture.

As we were leaving Elko on the 80, I was thinking about all of this. Then I noticed it...a billboard with a photo of the great Abraham Lincoln. It said, "Fail, fail, fail...and then...PERSISTANCE...pass it on". I took it as a good omen.
