>>I'm fighting this lack of system by staying healthy. And, BTW, we calculated a bit. This summer we visited our home city, and spent about 20 hours at dentist's, in 4-5 visits. The air fare (in the middle of the season, at that) and dentist's bill are still less than what we'd pay the same dental work here.

>Is 'here' New York? As I understood it, you got a job there this year. But your reference above is (still) Virginia.

Actually, that was last year. The art of telecommuting can explain a lot :).
