I'm glad to hear that your visit went well. Being with my mother is difficult because we have never had an adult to adult relationship. Her approval is always sought. The only good news to share is that the guy at work who is trying to make trouble for me has been mostly unsuccesful, and my coworkers have rallied to my defense which is gratifying. Everything else pretty much sucks as usual. Good to hear your voice again, zen . -Topher
