Dave, thanks for posting, we have been wondering how life has been treating you. I know what you say about seeing the "Regulars" all the time. I meet many folks on their way to work every morning as I am headed home. We wave but have never met. When I don't see them I wonder if they are ok. Glad you found something that you LIKE to do, hang in there specially through the bad times. Some things in life carry their own rewards, a happy face, a sincere hello....
Best of luck in getting the "light" at the end of the tunnel turned on brighter every day!
