Hey Ed...
Your wife knows how to spell "Haiku"??? That's kewl... She's a "keep'a"
Now - about the pay... That's OK - I can take a 50% pay-cut, and it still would be less then $0.000001.. Next, you'll probably want an offset for pay raise?? Ok - no problem - double my pay-cut to add to your salary there, boss....
LOL!!!!!!!!!
