    On the strength of your cat sacrifices alone, I'm prepared to offer my luck endorsement. ;)

    Hell, from what I've seen around here, you won't need anything but to be yourself, Frank. Go get 'em!

    Well I do...did, kinda still do I guess. The last couple of years have been tough to say the least. 2004 was the coldest summer on record in the last 100 years. It's damn near impossible to sell an A/C system when it's 69deg. in July and August.

    We've been bleeding money for a while and just haven't been able to recover. Health insurance costs are the biggest drain. Since Deb is a diabetic I need to bite the bullet and get a job that offers decent pay and even better insurance. It's been a tough couple of months around here. The kids and Deb are all that keep me going these days.

    Oh well. Life goes on and we can only hope and pray for the best.

    Best of luck to you Frank. Be yourself, offer what you can and remember it is not a one way street.

    They are offering you a job, but you are offering them your skills and experience. It is their job to sell the job to you, it is your job to convince them they would be fools to offer it to anyone else. :D:D

    Good luck to ya.

    It might help if you offer up some audio karma, you know a receiver or an amp or two, maybe some speakers or even a big screen will do.

    You will do fine either way.
