    At any moment you must be prepared to give up who you are today for who you could become tomorrow.

    Hahaha. Thanks Rex. It still took me a lot of time to whip it up into a wearable form. Still needs a lot of work on the inside.
    Thanks.

    It looks absolutely brilliant, good for you. I am continually amazed at the talent of the members of the board.
