Hey KAW! Thought I was seeing ghosts on my thread, LOL!
I am so happy to read that (as I suspected) you & CAW are moving forward together and fixing the inevitable "bumps in the road" with brand new (and skilled from practice) tools.
I can almost hear you smiling in your post. And that is just great.
On the career front, follow your gut on this. Do what will fulfill you more, what you are most happy doing, what best uses your best skills. If that's a step back to another post that offered that-- DO IT. We spend far too much time "making our livings" not to be making them serve a bigger purpose in our lives... whatever that purpose may be for each of us.
