| As far as I can see, Jim's got it made. He has a loyal fan base and can make plenty of money doing what he wants to do for the rest of his life. Wishing that he was recognized more would be cursing him more than blessing him because he seems to enjoy being able to be out and about without being mobbed or having an armed escort like a lot of people in the public eye. He's living the dream already. > There is a current thread about recognition, and I'm > wondering what his fans here have done as far as getting > Jim some of the recognition we think he deserves.
