Hang in there. I would love to find or build up a similar Panasonic myself! (in fact I'm thinking of picking up a Super Course frame to do my own build with).

Gene,
You've certainly got some great friends, and even if you don't know them personally a lot of people who care about you and your well being. I agree that biking can and will help you pull yourself back into a normal routine. Here are a couple of quotes that indicate that we're not the only ones who feel that way (some of them came from people here on the forum).
"Be at one with the Universe. If you can’t do that, at least be at one with your bike" – Lennard Zinn
“My mother and I have a difference of opinion. She thinks I should go see a shrink; I think I should buy a new bike.” – Alex Obbard
“Things look different from the seat of a bike carrying a sleeping bag with a cold beer tucked inside.” – Jim Malusa
" Melancholy is incompatible with bicycling." – James E. Starrs
"When the spirits are low, when the day appears dark, when work becomes monotonous, when hope hardly seems worth having, just mount a bicycle and go out for a spin down the road, without thought on anything but the ride you are taking." –Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
Keep your head up, and smile when you can. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.
