Morticia....thanks but no thanks on the job offer with the cancer patients. I'm not prejudiced - it's just that I've done the human services gig and it takes a special kind of person to do that kind of job, and I'm not that kind of person. Tons of admiration for those who can do it and not let it get to them, though. I'm sure the ones who need those services appreciate it also.

South Dakota, huh? Hmmmmm....good public schools; low crime rate; sparse population; lots of space; corn fields for making yer own corn likker; Mt. Rushmore; the Badlands; Black Hills.

On the other hand: winter.

Got to take the bad with the good. I'm sprucing up my resume and gassing up the Yugo now!!
