Good for you Lou that his unhappiness didn't affect the way you think and the decision you made.

"People are as happy as they make up their minds to be " - Abraham Lincoln

IMHO - TV is a place that has many happy, caring people who are willing to help others and want to enjoy their remaining days. It feels like stepping back in time to a gentler world.
Where a person chooses to live is their own business. I will choose to move to TV.
