I'm back at my mom's and haven't had a lot of time to post here.
Thanks for your thoughts; I'll get back to you individually soon. In the meantime, it's nice to be away from home and pretty much pretending all this stuff isn't happening at home. Not really, of course, but it's a nice break. I have to admit, though, I look at the home prices out here and think, wow, that's incredibly cheap....!
