Just got a call from the She. "My dad will be in town and wants to take family to an early dinner. So if you want to join us ...but we've got the hearing tomorrow so that's ok if you don't. D will at least want to go."

I just said something like send an email about it tomorrow . I'm on Rollerblades right now and can't do calendar things. (Really, I was).

How am I supposed to respond to that?!? I don't get her.

Someone in the gallery has to find this just a little unbelievable.

Retain faith that you will prevail in the end, regardless of the difficulties and at the same time confront the most brutal facts of your current reality, whatever they might be.

How about:

"I'm sorry, but unfortunately I already have other plans. Can I take a raincheck?"

Thanks for the words. Polite decline (although I'm tempted by free food).

Well that is that.

Short hearing. Nothing major brought up. Business-like mood. Judge signed papers and O'dog walked out with a certified copy of the divorce decree.

The She said she'd pick up kids for din. I invited too, or "You can use it for your <airquotes> Self time </airquotes>. It's a sunny day. The woofy and I will go for a long run.

I'm sorry man. You are a good man. Bad things happen to good people. A friend at work gave me a card that said 'when God closes a door, he also opens a window.' I hope your long run does you some good...lots of fresh endorphins to flush and bathe your gray matter.
