The semi-coherent ramblings of "as it's happening, in Real Time!!!!" tend to be frustrating to me. Kind of like those friends (or family members!) who can't stand silence between two people and have to fill it with <em>some</em>thing. <em>sigh</em> And insight is good. :)</p> <p>I hope the move went well and you are recovering. I can't imagine moving intercontinentally.</p> <p>RichM: <em>awesome</em> concept! Thank you for sharing it!</p> I’ll take the partly (or fully) digested experience, thanks.
