I rely on your steadfastness and observations...and I think of you every morning when I say hi to Bea (the bunny) and give her a head-rub. :-)<br /><br />You write: "It's the initial removal of the cover-up guises that's most challenging..." There's the rub...because often removing the cover-up results in unintended consequences.

That seems to be our baseline and what I find heartening is that any "adjustment" has to be made to tolerate violence.
