18. thanks! working on it

I'm sorry to hear that you have a similar problem with even-closer relatives.

Yeah - a move outside the country is something I'm considering but first I want to see how some of these current world crises (rise of neo-fascism, Russia, possible nuclear war with EVERYONE) first. My wife and I are also very attached to our immediate families, although no move would have to be permanent. Maybe not great timing, but I got bit by the travel bug a couple of years ago and have already had the good fortune of visiting a few European countries. (Of course, taking a pay cut to do something more charitable may mean less $ to travel.) So, travel is sort of a new passion of mine, and I have always been curious about picking up a second language. It is in the back of my mind.

But, yes, bottom line, I have a lot of mid-life stuff I need to spend time figuring out, including how best to help people in worse shape than I. Being tuned in to the never-ending 30-ring circus and now family drama are just what I don't need right now.
