Don't worry skeeter, my dad is my best friend too and I talk to him every day. Helped him put in a granite counter top today at a job. My two brothers also helped. This weekend, we will be working on our boat and my wife's car together. If we get the boat up and running, I am sure that both he and I would prefer to be on the water come August 1 instead of in a hot blind or field trying to kill a goose or two while making sure my other best friend, my dog, doesn't over heat. Nope, no regrets here.

When I started working at the last firm I was at, one of the partners sat down and gave me a speech about how I wasn't getting his work done. My reply was simple, the other partners had given me a ton of work too, that I only had a certain amount of time to spend on this Earth with my parents and siblings, the exact amount of which was unknown, and the firm wasn't paying me enough to give all that up. Not much was said after that, but that partner left the firm shortly thereafter to go to a different firm. Me, I stayed another year and a half before I got fed up with the BS and the long hours they wanted from me. Spent almost that entire summer with my dad fishing.
