I appreciate the in-depth answer to an admittedly difficult question. I am often struck by the thought while reading your LJ that you are a man "Who gives a damn" -- and that always makes me wonder whether or not I should give more of a damn.

I don't know how your answer fits into things, but it does sort of wind its way in. Thanks.

Silly bonus question: if you had to describe your current living space as a Lighthouse, a Windmill, or a Tugboat, which would best describe the place?
