Nope. I was just curious why you called me “Dad.” ;-)

Gotta to run- but I am thinking positive thought about your blog. Can I bill
you for my time?

I’m thinking positive things about your blog, so it’s a wash.

Anyway- I'm 35 going on 12. The older I get the more juvenile and asinine I get. It puts me on a level playing field with my five kids. They love it!

Affiliate program? If I got too many affiliates, I'd be spending way too much time visualizing things and I'm not sure I could do more than one at a time. Plus the affiliates would want a percentage. I'd have to raise my prices. But, then I could change my tagline to "I make money daydreaming about other people making money." This is like taking "The Secret" and outsourcing. I will think positive thoughts on your behalf in exchange for a percentage of your increased income. Think that'll work? ;-) Okay, so how old do you think I am?

This is my technique for brainstorming and marketing with my clients. Most of them just pay for me to visualize their business as being successful- no real work ever gets done. I should post something like this on Gartner Web Dev- only my clientèle probably wouldn't get the genius of the system. They would expect that some real work gets done, underestimating the power I can unleash with my unharnessed brain and sheer willpower. This is cutting edge stuff Dad- I am all for it. It's like how they work on Star Trek on alien worlds. If you have an affiliate program for you alien brain visualization program sign me up- I'll sell it to the eBay crowd.
