Dale,
Nope, didn't reschedule. Still ponder the idea of closing out WC bennies and heading off to Germany w/Dr.B. Weighing pro's and con's..

Haven't even scheduled my 2nd foot surgery for lack of hating being down again in the summer and more pain/foot and back!

Betsy,
Living in So.Cal now since '83. Lived in Richmond district of SF and loved it but too cold in summer/foggy and parking was insane (so no car)!
Have since learned the value of public transportation because lived in San Diego a while and the public transportation there really rocks. It's lots less scary than here in LA county!
I still like No.Cal very much as it's lovely and lush~ and some of my very best California buds live in SF and outside, known them ever since I've moved here and some even from the East coast that relocated long long ago!

I stopped working in 2000 altho I'm anxious to return in some form or fashion to what I loved.. working in nursing/medicine somehow!
