[thelist] going solo?

[Jack Hand]

Glenn,

  You have an ideal situation.  Very, very, very few could ever
hope to have something similar.

  However, I prefer to work away from home.  Thus, my situation
is the best for me.  I just had a 3 year contract in southern California.  
And, would love to go back.

  Maybe, one day, our paths will cross.  We'll treat each other
to a beer, coke, etc.  And, compare notes.  ;-)
