I’ve solved the puzzle that I haven’t been able to for ten years. I’ve never heard of an orthodontist practice anywhere increasing their business 105% after being in business this long. It’s unheard of in our industry. It’s remarkable what we’ve been able to achieve.

Friday afternoon I finally put the finishing touches on my blog I’d hoped to have published much early. It was about how good it felt to be home again. I planned to publish it Friday. I felt good that I’d come home and spent 3 days with my family and my oldest son Dan who’d come in from Washington DC and met with an old classmate and client.

Thursday evening late I got more bad news about the results from my fourth biopsy.
