I have owned a retail business with my wife for the last 10 years.  Business is
not as strong hence, does not keep me as busy in the office as it once did.  

I am hoping for some telecommute opportunities to supplement my activity and my
income.  I have worked as a contract developer quite a bit in the past.  I am
well able to self direct and work independently, but I do not desire to go out of
town every week. 

I have worked automating Microsoft Office applications, primarily Access, since
1995.

I will be glad to supply additional information on request.
