Is the life I find myself living so different from some existence I should be, but have no guts to pursue? After my experience of two weeks ago, I sure feel as if I’ve appeared out of some fog bank to find myself thousands of miles from where I was, but where is it I should be?

I'm interested in seeing what you have to say next, and speaking for myself of course, I admire people who are willing to share such deeply personal thoughts.

No, no recommendation needed but in the future, well, who knows? Some amazing stuff going on, as you'll read in the next few days. I'd be interested in your your take on it afterwards, if that's OK. Can you send me your e-mail and phone offline to darichard@att.net? BTW, we're planning on being back for Easter so hopefully I'll see you then. Mr. J - Great to hear from ya!
