It just goes to show that the old adage is true:  those who can't do, 
teach.  <ducks flying rollbooks, grinning>

Before someone who doesn't know me as well as Jenny does flames me:  
I'm joking; I've been a teacher myself; I think people who teach in 
the South Bronx should get a Congressional Medal of Honor, 
knighthood, and sainthood, not to mention free health care for life 
since they're breathing in toxins all day long.

Good advice.

I wonder about this sometimes.  I think I'd keep working, because I 
love my work, and I think having *only* leisure would make me very 
depressed.  One needs a sense of purpose.  But I might cut down to 
part-time and have more time to do things like art that I don't have 
much time for now; or I might just volunteer.
