Hi David.

I think that if you have had to put up with 19 years of your father saying
that ``if you aren't X then it it YOUR fault'' then it is about time that
you got to do things your way.  It might even be fun to tell your folks
to go for a hike...

However, later on, when you reach the exalted age of 27 or so you may find
that there are some real problems in your life.  Being lonely and shy might be
one of them.  At this point, when there is nobody leaning on you, it would be
nice if you *could* discover that your problems in life are problems with
*you*.  These days I love to find problems with me, because I have a fairly
good idea that I can work at my problems and fix them.  

One of my problems is Revenue Canada.  However, the number of things that I
can do about it is rather limited.  Not so if my problem was shyness...

I am glad things are going well for you.  Remember, if it *ain't broke*,
*don't try to fix it*!!  If at some point you decide that it *is* broken,
then is the time to do something about it...
