    Oh, I couldn't agree more. Now that I'm in my mid 50's, I don't know
    if I've slowed down or if I'm more critical of what my work looks
    like and take the time to refine it better; but I certainly put out
    less work in the same time frame than I used to years ago. Neither
    can I put in the 14 hour days 6 days a week that once seemed so
    normal. 

    Not that I wish this on anyone, but I'm glad to hear that I'm not
    alone in this. You are so right about truly appreciating patience
    from our clients....I put more than enough pressure on myself without
    getting additional scheduling pressure from an impatient customer. 

Paul
