Message 00525: Re: check wasn't cashed ...

if you're financially solvent, go find someplace new and stay there for a few weeks. I went to Crete once when I was in a pre-doctoral funk (my ph.d. program I had enrolled in turned out to be awful so I left before classes started). Later, when I was having real problems with my consulting life doing DOD and enterprise things, I went to Bangkok for a while and wrote a computer column for the bangkok post.

we should talk ... I'd like to understand a bit more what is going on with 
you, if I'm not being too nosy.  :)
