I've been having some trouble with my credit card reader lately. It's been balky, and a few times this summer, it hasn't worked at all. This is new because for years it was nearly perfect, even taking payments when there was no cell service.
To be honest, most of my clients are wonderful, respectable people, so if it doesn't work, they're happy to just pay an online invoice later in the day.
I really enjoy guiding families and seeing the kids grow and mature over the years. Trying and finding find their interests. Earlier this summer I guided one of those families and the daughter Maddie was along with her camera. I asked if I could have copies of a few and she was kind enough to send these along.
Thank you all for the birthday wishes. Pretty amazing to have reached 70. Yes I will be drawing Social Security soon (they tell me the middle of September). I have a very clear memory of being a young boy of maybe 7 or 8 and realizing that I might live to see a new century. Made it with another quarter century for good measure. The week has been great fun. Lobster here on the deck, in lobster rolls with Argy and with friends.
