Wow TL, I hope all goes well and can quietly slip away. My brother, the same one that has everything wrong that zero does, had a spine fusion because the pain from his bad discs were so over the top. It ended up being the last straw.
Resentment was my number one issue. Getting over that was huge.
Went to James Taylor concert last night. Amazing. He sounds just like James Taylor. Top notch production and musicians. Totally! Fantastic show and music. Going to impromptu bar-b-que today at my sister's. We decided last night at 11 PM in the parking lot to have a cookout. Wife works tonight - the next 5 nights. Then she has a week off. I have to find something for us to do. It should involve ocean, kayaks and camping. And it's going to be stinking hot in Delaware.
