Thanks Swamp. I really shouldn't be whining so much - guess I just needed to vent a bit. Yeah, there is a lot going on right now between Ma's health and closing on the house in MD getting delayed - but really, there is much that is good and positive in my world these days.

I am married to the most amazing person I have ever known, I have a job that I enjoy, working with people I like and deeply respect, I have many friends who have repeatedly stepped up in ways big and small to help out with the current chaos, and I'm on the verge of taking a huge step in recovering from the financial melt down created by my ex wife.

So thanks for listening to the grumpy side now and again. Better to snarl here a bit than to start drop kicking puppies, right?
