I can hang an entry door and install a nice pocket lockset but writing a brief? Shit, I can barely converse in any legible (much less comprehensible) form when I post here. Rewrite. rewrite, rewrite..

But, I have to go to it. Must be great to be able to do it at home.

The shop I work in is in the basement of the store I work for. If I couldn't get away from it at the end of a day I'd be even crazier than I am now.

I'm the first male in the James family line in at least 5 generations that didn't study law. I have the utmost respect for the profession and most of the people in it, it just wasn't where my interest lay. A problem with a saxophone is one thing. Legal trouble is something else entirely. Sax trouble will not affect the rest of your life. (Nor is it as expensive!)

You appreciate music, have a good ear and you're probably a dab hand at sweating copper so John could probably teach you his trade.
