Alan, congratulations -- getting kids through college and settled on their paths in life feels like a huge accomplishment to one on the uphill side (with two sons, 12 and 16 years old). And sweating through a BSc in computer science would probably push any normal person into trauma territory...
Mead -- I noticed your photograph of Audrey Hepburn, probably from Sabrina? Last night I attended a fundraiser in the home where Sabrina was filmed back in the 1950s -- it was stunning. My buddies and I sat on their dock (without champagne glasses in our back pockets, but with martini glasses firmly in hand) and guesstimated the taxes on that particular piece of waterfront property, coming up with something north of $125,000. The person living there is ER, too... so I guess an ER budget does depend somewhat on lifestyle!
