Sorry to hear about your predicament. Do you work in I.T.?

I've been a Systems Analyst/Programmer and a project manager for the past 6 years. I know how you feel and have seen my fair share of failures regardless of how much work I put into them. I could rant on this subject for ever, but this is a chess forum so I'll leave it at that.

I'm also in the same boat as you are, I have been trying to go to the Ye Olde Pueblo chess tournament here for 2 years strait but will have to give it a miss this time around again because of work.

Good Luck and take it easy.
