Well put, Janie. I think I'm in the "... choppy white caps and dangerous shoals..." quadrant. With Ann away in NC, I'm not doing very well. An overwhelming depression has robbed me of any creative inclinations. It's now more than two months since I wrote a single note of Music. Ann returns this coming Friday. She'll find our house clean & tidy...I have managed to achieve that at least. Suffering from Diabetes & PMR, leaves me wasted & very debilitated. That's largely the genesis of the depression, in addition to which I feel guilty because I have not been able to offer the level of support several of our Crew members (and friends of Crew members) so desperately need. I should stop now...I'm in real danger of drowning in my own self-pity. Janie's last words above speak for me too: "Life. Eh? Glad to have all of you with whom to share the journey".
                                          With Love to You All,
