I did advance to the point where I mentioned my $250-per hour fee could be substituted with jetons and plaques (undrilled). I still took the advice that resulted in that one call to Vegas that said: "Walk, Johnny...you're being used....they'll both come after you no matter what the court decides based on your opinion as arbitrator." We could have had a good time you and I in Paris. I cold have taken you over to Sutter Fong's where you would have been treated like gold. Then again, maybe we would have never made it back to the States if they didn't believe we were brothers. You gotta do something about that $100-per hour rate. I do let one company know from time-to-time which side I favor (flame can get hot at times). <g>
