And Seth, how's that for "knowing what you (people) want"?  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!
