MoS,
what sobriety is giving me is more choices and possibilities.
so i've decided to retire so that i can "develop" sides of me that have been shoved away in the very "macho" job i've done for over a quarter century. the plan is to get a part-time job in a field/place that i enjoy, that brings interaction with others (my job was solitary, and i liked it that way), that has some kind of "meaning".
hm...i see lots of quotation marks. must stop that!
if i were still drinking, i'd be entirely stuck where i am.
anyway, just to say Latin is not much work to learn compared to living languages. no changes, basically no exceptions. a lot like "doing math".
