I have trouble conceiving of families that last 1400 years, let alone a family business. I just have no experience with that kind of sweeping history.

I'm supposed to be sleeping, but it is one of those nights and I'm up reading LJs and listening to embarrassing music on iTunes.

Congratulations on the job offer. I'd tell you I think you should take it, but I know next to nothing about it so my advice would be next to useless. Also, there's nothing wrong with wanting to do a job well, no matter what the job. Well, okay, there are certain jobs one shouldn't aspire to do well, but this is clearly not one of those.
