So many people killing themselves these days. People who have a lot of going for them - Madoff’s son Mark, still wealthy, still having a family, a federal prosecutor in a well publicized case (I forget the name, it was in the WSJ a couple of weeks ago), also with a career and a family, and here I am, sitting in a cold basement without a career, without a family and only with an FR family, and with my cowardice, when the most famous bridge in the world is a half hour drive away to jump from. But yes, there are the children, adults now, and the effect this would have on them.
Stop yo whining, I hear a next post in response to this one.
Yeah, volunteer with the SPCA, teach children of prisoners to read, that’s what tell you at the clinic and the groups of whiners. Sorry...

OK, those sound like things that don't appeal to you. (Frankly, they wouldn't appeal to me either.) Find a group that does something that appeals to you.
OR, do something selfish, but healthy. You're in the Bay Area, check out these links:Bay Area Snow Sports Council; Singles League Racing.
They're for ski and snowboarding clubs. You don't have to even KNOW how to ski or board to join, just have an interest in learning. Many clubs have racing programs. You don't have to be anything other than a pathetic beginner (really!) to start racing, the way we have things set up. You don't have to be rich, we find ways to do all this on the cheap (used equipment, discount tickets, cheap lodges, etc.)
This weekend, I'm going up to Tahoe to race a SuperG, which is just one level down from a full Downhill, and we get up to 70 MPH or so flying down the hill.
You'll meet lots of people, your age, some having come from a similar spot, and they're all finding ways of at least getting their asses up to Lake Tahoe and out of the morass of the SF Bay for a weekend.
Seriously, check it out. No "do gooding" required!
