Hi Marie,    You said alot and very concisely in your comments but can you
elaborate a little bit more on this?  Specifically the time and career
commitment aspect and also a little more about the fluid boundaries.  I
guess I'd like to know a little more how you found the fluid boundaries
affected you and also what effects the new understandings had on your
interactions, relationships, whatever.
