Amazing to see what the world spends $$ on. I don't know if I'd call myself a "chief executive officer"; that sounds a little exalted. :~) What's missing is the care for elderly family members which is becoming an additional responsibility too. Plus the extra baby-sitting you do when someone in the neighborhood finds out there's an *at home* Mom close by.
