I understand much more now. Thank you for writing back. Thank you also for your statement "I like you!"

I've always gone my own way, in my life and my career. It has taken me all the interesting places I want to go, and continues to do so now. Even so, I understand my profession's push and society's pull for doctor to work long and hard only in their field for as long as humanly possible, (then retire and die shortly thereafter :-). That's not the path I've chosen. Be well, Michael
