I don't think he meant humorous, Syl. Marcus' english has come a long way, ( I think it's excellent), but sometimes the nuance of anyone can get lost in cyberspace.
I think it's normal, Kevin, for someone our age who has been doing essentially the same thing for years or maybe decades to get burnt-out. If a guy is lucky enough to be in a financial position where he can just take a 6-month trip around the world, the answer is easy. For those of us who need to work to pay the bills, it's a little more challenging. I'm kind of lucky right now in that it's been slow which has given me a break while making me hungry for work at the same time. Maybe branch-out somehow, I wish I had a better answer.
FWIW, when things pick-up for me I will be seeking your services. Hang in there, buddy.
