Hey Mike,

Sorry to hear about your situation...but try to think of it as an =

others, I've been in your situation.

If insurance is a concern (or will be) you might consider this :

There may be other orgs with better rates, this is one that comes to =
mind.

All the best to you...network, network, network,  and let us know how =
things are going. Consider the NY market...it's just a train ride away.

Feel free to reach out as needed...it's all about your support system.
