    For those thinking of going it alone.

    Click on the above link for an article I wrote recently on Opticianry and ownership.


    PS would someone please tell me why 'Opticianry' always triggers spell check.

    Amen! I have always resented that!

    I'm interested in the next installments of the blog. I am set to open my own shop in the next two months.

    I always admire people who have the guts to go on their own. It is well known in business that one does not get much, if any, financial help before one is able to survive the first 5 years.

    These times are the ones tough were one has to tighten the belt and work many more hours than the ones with a comfortable salary, working for somebody else.

    Because it's not a real profession? Seriously though, I've wondered that myself.
    Bart Smith, continuing to be awesome since 1982 so that you don't have to.

    Love is a duet, each voice complementing each other and making them sound better than they would alone, each voice at times stepping back and letting the other shine. We've got a pretty good duet going Tina.

    On April 28th, I'll be marrying my best friend. I can't wait!
