(((((F1))))) Didn't see your post, since I was busily writing as you posted it! I'm not done thinking about what I should do, and I may change my path at the last instant. If I do this, I know that the last time it will be the way I expect it to be will be about the time I finish my first sentence, if not before. But that doesn't mean it isn't the right thing to do.
Thanks for your kind words and support. If any of us knew "the Answer", it wouldn't be nearly as much fun!
