Guys, thanks for reminding me about the red tape and BS. Really, I appreciate your thoughts very much.
So I have several things to think about here, including my personal motivations, sacrifices that will be required from my family and possibly my career, and all the other stuff. I am going to let this stuff percolate in my head for a while. There's no rush and I want to make the right decision for myself and my family. Dang, I'm thankful for this four-day weekend!
Have a Happy Thanksgiving.
