Hey RB, I'm really happy and excited for you with your new career. I've often thought about a career shift myself in that direction (either at a school or college level) and its great to see you've been able to make that shift. I'm sure you'll make a great teacher!
As for the R, well, I really don't have much advice to give becuase honestly, it seems like you have things under control. YOu've made so many positive changes for yourself and really, isn't that what DBing is all about? Keep up the good work!
