Well, bless y'alls pea pickin' hearts. I didn't mean to create a hornet's nest to poke at.

I haven't yet decided whether to do it - and in any case I couldn't do it before close to the end of July since I have made commitments.

There is no way I'll jump into it without trying to think it through. For one thing, the prospect frightens me, so I will be careful. As Rap said, I'm no spring chicken- this fall I will be 75 years old - and I didn't get to this age just free falling. I've made some bad decisions in my life but I've also made some very good ones, and I trust the decision I will make in this connection.

As for telling people- hmmmmm. I'm not good among friends at keeping my mouth shut so the odds are good that I will tell them. (Not only that but if a certain Mudcatter reads this thread, there go my secretive ways!)

It is not a case of feeling that it is essential that I do this- but I do like new things and I do like challenges. Not only that but there are at least two - maybe more - homeless men who would, I have no doubt
