I am truly grateful for all you put into that. A lot to try, a lot of wisdom. I will start on that in the coming weeks.

Its been frustrating, because I absolutely know I could give Washington state their money's worth with a chance, but the postings seem to discourage application from all but a very very small subset of the population. I understand now that I should apply anyway, and be proactive in demonstrating how my skills might fit with their needs. Research, intelligence, initiative. Good advice.

Anyway, thanks again for taking the time to post that. It means a lot to me.

Peace!
Nir
