thanks, jax......one part of me wants to try to help him and the other part says, run, pat, run. as i said, i will really miss him and as i look back, i was always the proactive one and the supportive one. and it has been that way in other recent friendships. i've learned a very good lesson this time. and i think it is a positive lesson. more time for Pat!!!

i'm going to be very, very careful about letting anyone get close to me. friendship is a two way street. when i see that the road has two lanes, i'll go for it.......love, pat
