Jeff is also a very approachable guy -- he's on another board I frequent and we ended up having dinner together in DC once when I was in that area (he lives nearby). He even gave me an autographed copy of his book. I think the thing you and he share which is very valuable is avoiding what he calls "the money step". 99.9% of Americans, when they have a problem, solve it by throwing money at it. You and Jeff (and soon hopefully I) have a problem and try to solve it with analysis and creativity and with a lot less money. 2Cor521 Jacob,
