I think you're right none of us really knows what we want, except it isn't what we've got (or haven't got)! Ideally, I would like #1. Now whether #1 is attainable is becoming more doubtful to me as time goes on. That leaves #2. The problem with #2 is that the longer long becomes the more heart-wrenching and difficult it is to get "back into circulation" when it's over. The last one was 5 years and boy it was tough! That leaves #3, but living with someone it sooooo nice. So I'm back to #1 or #2. See, I don't know what I want either! ____ " ... and a friend or two I love at hand ..." ____ Rea Simpson Lawrence Livermore Labs L-306 P.O.
