Very clear. I assume you no longer practice.

I don't do corporate stuff any more. I don't the engineering at companies
patent filings, and I don't do acquisition investigations, such as what
you when through.

I do individuals' patent work on a very part-time, very particular (my
particular) basis. I find it much more rewarding. I own a full-time,
non-related retail business with a few part-time employees.


That's cool. I can relate. I was a corporate technologist for 40 years,
got lucky and exited stage right.


I felt like I had to get out or lose my soul. It was the right time
soul-wise and financially.

(Or sometimes left depending on the subject matter). Got involved in a
"retail" business of sorts about 9 months ago and am still adjusting to
the non-logical and fickle personalities of semi-pro and professional
musicians.


Musicians are a special breed... my ex dabbled in it (semi-pro). He was
obsessed to say the least with it. But, we're still good friends.

I have an associate who is a rock and roller by heart (started in the 60's
with a couple of billboard hits) but quickly determined that he and his
family liked to eat. He went to law school and became a trial lawyer
which he did for 30 years before giving up his practice to return to his
true love of building fine acoustic guitars.
Interesting fellow .... and probably has one of the finest engineering
minds of anyone I've ever met, combined with a true craftsman's talent.

So, it proves there is hope for all lawyers.

Lawyers can be ok from time to time.
