Good to hear from you. Yeah - things are bad, somewhat worse in my sitch although I have stopped throwing myself against the wall in my R which, in my opinion, could be the beginning of the end OR a better chapter maybe. I glanced at "the Secret" and honestly found it to contain a lot of tired concepts and what felt like platitudes. Granted, I was in a miserable mood at the time. Can you describe what about it resonated with you? You are a very intelligent guy based upon your postings so I'm willing to look at how my "sour grapes" might be sweetened up by another viewpoint about the book.
