I've been reading your thread and your posts on TJ's thread. Your description and insight is dead on and a rare thing these days on the board. Way too many people that are here for popularity contest. They have there head up their a$$ and need to just back away from writing their fluff and concentrate on getting a life and practicing the DR principles.
Kudos to you for putting into words the thought process that I try and maintain these days. When my PMA slips I read your post and know that I'm fighting the good fight, doing the right thing, and allowing things to play out as they will. Thanks for your insights and I wish you luck in your situation.
BTW, my wife and I lived in Glendale from '91-'99. Went to Church in Pasadena. I worked in Hollywood, she in Agoura Hills. Been to Pelican's? I love and miss So Cal.
