		<description>Yes, from what I understand from people who do run their own show, it&#039;s a constant learning process. Mostly because your life situation changes, and your priorities change, and so consequently the balancing act changes. You get the hang of it, and dealing with it, but your life dictates the rest. 

At least it&#039;s never boring, and you&#039;re always in control.</description>

		<description>See, it&#039;s that last thing - the balance - that I often find really hard. I&#039;m trying to do better, and rying to be more firm with people about schedules, but sometimes it&#039;s difficult. Like this week, for instance. But I guess it&#039;s all a learnng process, and I am still learning The Art of Pushing Back.</description>

		<description>Hey, the CTV stations here had the Flintstones on at noon too! They must have gotten a serious deal, is all I am thinking.

I do seriously admire your entrepreneurship. Seriously. It&#039;s something I thought I could do, once upon a time (but a year&#039;s worth of inquiries and letters got me nada. Zip. Zilch. Not a blip on the radar). But even if it had panned out, I wonder about facing the same things as you mention, and how I&#039;d have handled it -- times when the bank balance gets a little low, managing the ever-changing workload, striking a good work/life balance... 

It sounds to me like you are handing everything splendidly!</description>
