Geez Ken, this has got to be gettin old buddy. I know what you mean about the kick in the butt though ... took me moving to the boonies and facing a 2-hour a day commute working for lawyers (like I always did) to make me decide to follow my own dream. Tough to believe that was almost 5 years ago now.
You've got the brains, the skills, the confidence and the drive to do whatever you want -- now go make it happen. :-D
