The Movie turns out brilliantly and entertains in it’s entirety. Your story is not even close to being thoroughly cooked - or done! Thank you for sharing your pie And story. Both are delicious and worth the chew.

Oh, you guys! You seem to think that once you don't fail, that failure will never happen again. But failure is a constant! Failure happens daily! One never gets away from failure! But on the other hand, . . . Success happens constantly too! At first you may not even notice the successes because they are so small, so at the beginning you need to be quite flexible in what qualifies as a success. But as you get more adept at what you do, the successes become more noticeable, bigger, and yes, more joyful! They start to happen more often! The tears become less frequent, but here's the warning! As those successes become bigger, so too do the challenges. The stakes become bigger! The investment becomes bigger! This is all the reality of starting a business. I can't think of any enterprise that is able to skip over and avoid any of this thing called growth. But in some cases, there is an instant growth spurt (which we all hope for!) that catapults the business into profitability within the first year. Very rare! But we all (semi)expect our brilliant product deservingly should be in this top category and should garner this type of attention. Of course!! But that also usually takes a lot of forethought, funding, planning, and did I say LOTS of money? For us slugs at the bottom of the funding heap, who are struggling to make ends meet and who's product is indeed brilliant, but who are having challenges in getting out of the tiny eddies and flows of the creek and into the fast-paced current of the river of enterprise . . . failure is what makes us a success! We learn at a frantic pace, what works and what doesn’t. So, even though our successes are happening slowly, our failures are happening at a diametrically opposed pace. And we are learning!

ps. So happy you were able to visit and get the rhubarb I was saving for you! Please do come again! It was a delight, and way to short!
