Hurrah! At least, hurrah for you being back - my deep sympathies for life turning rabid on you. My family and I are just now really getting back out of the hole from my unemployment a year ago, and we'll be a long time catching up with where we wanted to be, so I know how depressing that can be. Good luck getting real life sorted out, and please take out the frustrations on some other player. I recommend Alan - he's excellent for that!
If there's anything you want to know from me or that you want me to handle/condense/brainstorm for to help, let me know!
