It might sound like a cliché, but seriously, without my wife, Anne Grethe, this book could not have happened. Her patience with me and her support is truly what pretty much makes just about anything I do a reality. My kids, Mia and Herman, you rock! Thanks to them for keeping me mentally younger and making me playful. I'd also like to thank my colleagues, who have been kind enough not to point out the fact that I've had too much going on in the period of writing this book. I'll be sure to buy a round the next time we're having a company get together.

Last but not least, thanks to my clients for their patience and flexibility during the busiest periods of this process.
