Bob,
Just curious, and if I'm being too personal, please excuse me. Couldn't help but wonder if you've ever considered following in your dad's footsteps in the financial advice world, either as a broker, mutual fund mgr, or as a columnist/journalist covering financial items.
I'm sure I'm not telling you anything you don't already know, but if you got into the brokerage field, you'd be a natural. I'm sure you'd create a bidding war between brokerages to obtain your services. If my dad had the clout and reputation of yours, I'd be the biggest producer in all of Louisiana! As luck would have it, my dad was a machinist at a factory in Nebraska, not a nationally-renowed financial advisor--such is the luck of the draw when it comes to birthrights :). I'm not trying to be condescending, just curious. You'd be a huge producer--no doubt.
Of course, the flip side is, since you're in the computer industry, maybe you'll develop a software package and take your company public at some huge multiple, as we've seen numerous times before, making you a gazillion-aire through stock and stock options. Maybe I just answered my own question. Looking back, I wished I'd taken up computer science too--seems like that is where the big bucks are right now.
On an unrelated note, sorry to see you are a CU alum. Growing up in Nebraska, I am a huge Husker fan. Since Oklahoma has fallen on such hard times, it seems as though you guys are our biggest rivals. See you in Boulder this year. The Huskers will be "bringing the wood."
