Bill,
First off you are loved but I would be careful how to mention that to
your friends! It might be another badge of courage you have to bear.
Joking aside you, if you read my post, you are clearly #1--your needs
are largely satisfied--end of problem.
We were taught in the photo business that clients have wants and needs.
Clients have lots of wants but often their needs fit into their budgets
much better. We all want the entire NYC system in our basement, but we
really only need a 'division' to have a lifetime of fun.
