Is that $25k Canadian or US dollars? Either way, it's more than I make in a year. (Ah the joys of freelancing--lots of flex time, not so much money, no benefits. Thank goodness my husband has a real job.) I cannot imagine paying money to get "near" someone for a few minutes. Maybe when I was in junior high school (Shawn Cassidy, baby)--but aren't we all adults now?
