Wow, seems you have led a most interesting life. Particularly after making the 'leap' to other things of life. I read back to your intro and some other posts. It is always amazing to me when people have the courage and 'go for it'-ness to just take the next step, as many talk about it, but never follow through. Plus, you live in what sounds like a way cool and fun (friendly) place. Looking forward to reading more on where you've been, and what lies ahead.
