After all your helpful posts, I hope I can help you. Look for the book The Midlife Passage by James Hollis. it talks about going through midlife and coming out better and more prepared for the rest of your life. he says that the people that work through their issues aren't as afraid of death as those that do. it's fairly heavy reading with a lot of Jungian psychology yet it keeps your interest. I've had a few friends read it and all have gotten something out of it. In fact I want to read it again. This time specifically for ME.

That definitely sounds like issues that should be worked through. I think you're in a good position to start working on those issues now before the full blown MLC starts in.
By the way I'm working during the week in the Sacramento area. My schedule probably won't mesh with the rest of the DB'ers but I thought I would join up with ya'll if I could.
Take care, Fearless
