Amazing how little we know of each other here and all that folks go through each day atop the AS woes.
Sorry to hear the ugly stuff you went through in becoming as you say "redundant."
I did check Buno's passport to be sure he wasn't part of the ugliness. Every now and then he forgets he's fighting for the good guys, glad to see he was not overseas for quite some time.
Glad to see that a you found a clotty soul to offer you some wisdom and support through what could have only been a tremendously disturbing time. Even with that mystery clots aid, glad to see you had the spirit to come out the other side equally clotty.
I am ever so glad that this place flourishes with clottiness.
As for the piano biz too bad there isn't a cyber way to teach, my little ladies (at least one) seems eager to give the piano a try.
