    Never Thought This Would Ever Happen

    Richard, I think it will because you have wrestled with another heavy emotion other than the passing of a dear friend and playing partner. Dealing with possibly moving from Barton City has to play heavily on your mind. You have too much to offer. You don't have to "pick and grin" - just leave...

    Aches and pains
