diane,
i almost did it again! i can hardly carry on a conversation let alone do nany serious writing. i appreciate the opportunity that you offered to me. my old grandiousity followed along right behind it.
my back problems, which is the actual reason for my disability, (laminectomy 2000 with chronic almost constant debilitating back pain - l4, 5, s1) allow me to sit for between one and two hours at a time. any longer than that and i am poping narcotics like pez, and it's no longer the 60s (darn!).
if i think with my head and not my bp, i know that doing any kind of work, no matter how fun, is whisteling dixie (and, yes, my wife is from alabama and i'm there now).
