I have a copy of Zen and the Art of MM with me by my desk right now...got it as a gift from a dear friend - and she knew just how timely it was. I hadn't read it since high school...long, long time ago - and I swear it's a completely different book now...read it as a child, now reading it as a father..."the child the father of the man."
Going to $ out ring. Don't want it around in any form.

OD, Make sure you have someone to hang out with afterward. Don't need the Black Dog to come pay you a visit. Have a plan for Monday, use your support network. You can handle it. Strength and Honor Coach

Lunch today with friend. "Dude, you tried." He just about choked on his food when I told him that after W gave me papers a few weeks ago she said maybe one day we could get married again. "...and you know what would have to change for that to happen?" "Everything." I said.

He thought the BFF sitch was too much. Asked if they were more than roommates (W insists no). Nonetheless she's way too involved. Helping OK. Mothering too much.

The Black Dog has been around all week - not going away. Had some ok times with kids and riding around on my 'new' bike this weekend. Can't concentrate. Not getting anything done at work or home. No energy.

Signed and notarized papers about half an hour ago. I'm not sure exactly when it's "official"; at time of signing, at filing (sometime this afternoon), or hearing date (probably October). Whatever. Call it. Time - 14:05:00 08.21.09

No regrets. You did your best. Just deal with it and stay busy. You have no reason to hang your head. Sorry buddy.
Cheers Mate
