It's pretty amazing how many people I'm close to have been thinking this lately... you and I are the same age... my friends are going through the first wave of divorces... everyone is starting to feel trapped in their career- I know I sort of do too... it was one of the things that made me end my last relationship... I didn't need to be trapped by anything else either...I felt like I spent the entire last year of it planning my escape... he had stopped growing (well, I don't think he matured past about 15 anyway, but...) and I still feel like I have a life ahead of me... one of the reasons I love the Yeag... he has the adventure in him still.... you need encouragement to pursue your dreams... it CAN be done... financial security and happiness are NOT mutually exclusive!

Oh, and canned asparagus is an abomination against Nature AND the palate... not as nasty as the canned peas... but compared to what asparagus SHOULD be... yow! My area is FAMOUS for our amazing tender sweet asparagus... only what, another 6-8 weeks before it heralds the start of the farm stand season, all those little perky spears showing up on trailers parked by the side of the road... just waiting to become an omlette... mmmmm leftover fondue and asparagus omlettes are like stepping into the orgasmatron.
