Congratulations G. I don't know what's coming next but it can't get any tougher than it's been.
Giving up flexibility is hard when you have a child and not much support. But if the opportunity brings challenges and rewards and the hours fly by and you feel it is meaningful work, well, that could be pretty interesting. I'm glad you're putting your feelers out there. We all agree with your dad, we're all proud of you.
