<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I'm just greatful for the fact that
I just started my 401K here at UNL. Buy, buy, buy! It'll come
back around (the economy) and hopefully, the university won't have any
major budget cuts, but I think I'm pretty secure. Outside business
for me is very limited as I have no time. The faculty I tune for
is very happy that I am giving a small discount for piano service, and
actually, my outside tunings have increased because of it! Everyone, just
buckle your seatbelts and get ready for the ride...Should be interesting
for a year or two. Don't give up hope..</font>
