bruce,

I didn't know you had some musical talent. Is that something you can parlay into a fun activity somehow? Maybe do a charity thing to get started doing it in public, or playing w/ others? I've sung carols at nursing homes and such w/ people and found it extremely fun and not scary, despite the fact that I typically have a fair amount of "stage fright." Just a thought -- bringing music to people can make you feel so wonderful, they really appreciate it and it's easy to forget that not everyone has that talent.

Glad to see you're not on the bb 24/7. Seems you're stabilizing -- that's a good thing.
