Deane, Life certainly has it's own way of directing us ...
I wish you well in your decisions ...
Personally, if anything, I am becoming more lethargic not having gigs to prepare for, stores to go to, etc. etc. ... I will force myself to get out to walk, so I at least get SOME exercise, and while I haven't been playing the KB everyday, I at least use entertaining our one year old great granddaughter as a reason to play a few days a week ...

I also have been wondering what I'm going to do as far as returning to gigs ... Honestly, while I was getting jealous watching Dave entertain 'LIVE' on Thursday, I feel a little hesitant about getting out there myself ... I'll just have to wait and see how things unfold ...

BTW, we have some things in common - I am 79 years of age (I REFUSE to say OLD), been married for over 56 years, and went through a period of not playing professionally for 7 years after relocating to RI ...
Again, I wish you the best in your decisions ...
God Bless
