 I've worked with a few, for whom 30 years did seem to
 mean 1 year 30 times.
 Fortunately, not many.
 Also a few, not many, with expertise far beyond their years.
 It goes both ways.

 Odd.
 I got this gig, from a client I'd never had any dealings with whatever.
 So, I asked how he got my name. Never hurts to know.
 He said that he had no clue who might be qualified for what he needed,
 so he called the Commission in Washington, and asked them !
 Actually, I've been referred by the Commish twice that I know about.
 Methinks I'm flattered, but I guess "under the radar"
 is no longer an option.

 It seems it's not important that everyone knows your name,
 but in what context ?
