I won't presume to give advice on what you might do next or how to make the best of things. <BR/><BR/>Your post's sixth paragraph reminds me of a line from <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isak_Dinesen" REL="nofollow">Isak Dinesen's</A> <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Out_of_Africa" REL="nofollow"><I>Out Of Africa</I></A>: <BR/><BR/>"it [tragedy] is the fundamental principle of God, and the key--the minor key--to existence." <BR/><BR/>That line always comforts me.
