Very cool, **Procrustus**! I was once slightly above average as a pool player, but I never even attempted jump shots. My brag for today: So, I mentioned in the OP that ideas in the doctor’s office for depression. The doctor called it “moderate” depression. I was also seeing a counselor for depression and anger management issues. I’d gotten to a pretty bad place this year. So, I’ve been doing better. I’m visiting my in-laws this week. I haaaaaate visiting my in-laws. They’re a damned mess, and they never wanted my wife to marry me. And traveling cross-country with our hyper 6 year old and 4 year old is always challenging. And the Air BnB accommodations we got are pretty crappy. But! I’ve kept my shit together, haven’t snapped at anyone (except when I yelled at my son for spitting over the inside balcony in the apartment, which I feel was appropriate), and I’ve actually kind of enjoyed the week. My wife is stressed, the kids have been their usual challenging selves, and I’ve actually been a calming presence for the most part. Between my wife and me, I’d always been the steady one, up until the point my depression took over. This week at least, I feel like I’m the one on an even keel again. Now I’ve jinxed it, of course, and I’ll probably be a gibbering mess again in a few days… ---

My daughter is graduating college with honors next May. Going to grad school next. It’s all her doing even though I home-schooled her. Maybe I can take a little bit of credit… ---

After 14 years on this board I just discovered what that ‘multi quote’ button is for and how to use it. ---
