Life can be tough, Dan, I know this first hand. But nothing is totally black. Where there's still life there's still hope. My experience is that things start to go much better when you stop living only for yourself and start living for the others as well. For instance, if you're a believer, go visit your local church and ask what you can do to help : churches always have missions like helping the poor or the sick, and so on. If you're not a believer, there are certainly equivalent associations. Then you'll recover some meaning in your life and will most probably also make friends.
@All:
sorry for the off-topic, but Dan's post needed an answer.

His leukemia has progressed to the point of no return, and he probably has only days left to live. His wife Mary agreed that it was better to inform the community of this rather than to wait until he dies to say anything. Don is at least glad to hear that Komodo will probably be in the TCEC final; hopefully he will at least live long enough to see that become definite. Don is 57 years old; a full obituary will appear here at the appropriate time.
Komodo will continue as a partnership between me and Mark Lefler, with Mary Dailey receiving an equal share of the proceeds. I'm in the hospital myself now, but I should be going home tomorrow with no further trouble expected.

As I have no account in this forum I asked Werner to post this:
"Although I don't know Don personally, but i respect his work in the chess engine community.
I heard today about his health issues, really bad news. sad.
So, can you send in the topic there that I felt sad when I heard of his heath issues, and my best wishes for him and his family.
