Dear Mark, and everyone ~ I have been on the turqouise trail with little time to plug into the net, and I am responding to posts that are now, for you all, pretty dated. I read this with tears flowing down my face because I am there...again...and...more so than ever before, it seems. Perhaps it is exactly where I need to be.
