Let me tell you a story: There was once a very powerful king who called all of the wise men of the kingdom to his court. He told them to go out and find the wisdom of the ages. After ten years. they came back with twelve volumes. The king said that he was sure that these books did indeed contain the wisdom of the ages; but it was too long and the people would never read it.

He sent them back out and this time they came back with a single volume. The king again agreed that it did contain the wisdom of the ages but it was still too long. They went back a and soon came back with a single page; then a single paragraph; and finally a single sentence.

When the king read the sentence, he rewarded all of them and said that this was truly the wisdom of the ages. The sentence was: “There Ain’t No Free Lunch”.

My vocation is business, but my advocation is every thing else. I use the cold winter months here in Wisconsin to study subjects ranging from health and diet to quantum mechanics and from wind and solar energy to “green” building procedures.

I am no longer interested in working for “the man” and am determined to be my own boss. I have been downsized, rightsized and outsourced. I have a web-based business doing internet marketing as an affiliate for merchants.
