I hear you, Ken.  Right now I think I'm headed for a deep depression because
my two youngest need me to keep going, and I don't see how I can.  Laura and
I went out to dinner last night to celebrate her birthday.  We got on this
very subject, and figured that she probably has ten years, tops--even with
remissions.

So, if you retire, would it be in some Georgia/Alabama tiny town or would
you try to move to a better climate?

Don't get me wrong, I love my family, but, I am paying a big price in pain
to do what is right by them as long as I can drag into this office. I had to
discuss going on extended leave with the doctor Tuesday. I may have to just
give up the fight and retire. I do not want to have to take ben out of
school and move, but, ecconomically atlanta or any big city is not the place
to be on a fixed income.
