"Though the financial reward was a big plus, my curie visits meant more than the money. They were doors that open on a flight of stairs to the top. They were a weighty nod to my talent; something I value as much as or even more than gold."

Wow very well said! I expected nothing less from you though :) Keep on climbing those stairs! You are one of the more creative writers/posters/poets/people on here :) Much love - Carl
