So I'm looking forwards to that possibility, and my wife talks to someone at a radio station about furthering her public speaking/media career.We visited a new industrial/business park and my  daughters and I took several great photographic shots which we're going to be  selling. (One thing I really like about this concept/method is that it gives my kids first hand experience with work, idea generation, and business, and they get to see how things develop outside of my home office, in the field.)My wife got a new project out of the visit for her  independent public speaking and publications venture, and I got an idea while  taking shots about a new camera design which is going into my invention  notebook. I'm sure the idea is pitchable. I've just got to work out one security  design feature. Which I'll likely have to make programmable or transmittable, or  both.We spent quite a bit of time in the city touring  about later that day, went to a restaurant to eat, and then to Barnes and Noble  where I made a couple of contacts for local magazines (I've been wanting to  write some articles on business expansion in our local area, and a couple on  Vadding as well.)I spent the whole day out with the family and  although we avoided "typical work" (as in "being  in the office") it was both extremely productive and a great deal of fun. My  kids had a ball, learned a lot about business, and yet work was immensely fun.  (Work to me is fun anyways, and often is the most fun I can have with my clothes  on, but today it was exceptionally fun.)One thing I also noticed, I only ate twice today.  I ate breakfast, and then at the restaurant, but haven't been hungry since, and  I think it was because we were all having so much fun, and got involved in so  many interesting things and projects, that I just never thought about eating  again.Well, I have to say, this was excellent coaching  and advice I've gotten. I'm gonna do this every week.I'm also this weekend gonna turn my attention to  translating my work and business into a Game. I've already done some preliminary  work on that, but today gave me some really good ideas on how I could design the  project for practical benefit.Well, I gotta hit the hay. Still gotta make some  notes before bed.</blockquote>
