Re: First Check!
Congratulations, Steve! That's the first clear sign that things are starting to "work", that the wheels are getting oiled...

I dunno about NOT cashing it -- but making a color copy of the check to frame might be a fun idea. Something to remind you that it [payment $$$] really does happen! Congrats again!Raags

Re: First Check!
Congrats Steve! I did just what Raags said. I made a color copy and framed it. It was an ASCAP check for $7.45... The frame cost a lot more... But as they say in that commercial, "Priceless"...I hope there are many more checks to come! Casey
I LOVE IT WHEN A PLAN COMES TOGETHER!
