JJ,

I can really relate to you when you said that you've lived in places where it didn't feel like 'home.' Where we live now is one such place. Where we're going, when we first toured the place, it felt good, felt 'right.' Some places hit you that way right off the bat. Where we live now, we had no choice--we were in a hurry and instantly I knew that it wouldn't work out.

Funny how 'feelings' most often are right...

Thank you so much for your positive comments and encouragement. It is a little frightening and intimidating going back to school when you're over 50; however, I did it once several years ago and it turned out O.K.; most likely it will go alright this time. I;ve always loved to learn and that helps...

Of course, I can always do the 'Monk' dance---"I'm back, I'm back!!" What a guy! Is he good or what?
