Hi Jim,

Sorry I've been tardy with a reply, my computer is being sketchy these
days.  Regardless...

Rebecca replies:
First off, I'm vary wary when using the static levels to look at anything.
I've found in my experience with them that they can be illuminating in some
contexts ...  and sometimes it can be akin to cleaning out the barn after
fifty or so years of accumulated crap - the beginning is the end is the
beginning.

Secondly, more important than questioning your place is really taking a good
hard look at your direction.  You can't ever change where you are - you are
here, now and that's all there is to it.  The change comes in the direction
that you're headed.

And my direction at this moment is bed.
Hope you care to carry this on.

Rebecca
