Is anyone watching this new HBO series "Enlightened."

This week's episode deals with the main character's divorce.

Whoever is writing this series is doing an excellent job. I can't explain how good this episode was. We can't escape our past. It happened.

Exactly. The breakdown comes when we can't accept the past and want desperately to rewrite it. I think that can be said for both sides of all of our stories, don't you?

Set a new goal for myself. The stop avoiding XW and to make eye contact and say hi and bye is going OK. Next step is to not say anything derogatory about her to her, the girls or friends.

I don't regret marrying her. I wish it had turned out different, but it's all a part of the great story that is my life.

Going to try again to call DateHookUp lady tonight. She sent a message saying she wanted to talk. We'll see. I really hope she is as pretty as her pix on the site and as nice to talk to as she seems online.

Finally have the rest of the money to file bankruptcy. So I'll be sending that out. I have a running race for the weekend. That's extra money. I have the plasma donating down to a science. I have my workout schedule down. I'm making progress on the developer autobiography.

All in all ... progress.

From another thread ...


What's your hurry?

Drew, because life is more fun when you share it with someone and I'm not going to wait around. If you aren't moving forward, you're sitting still. I don't like to sit still.

Fun night last night. Met with the developer that I'm doing the book for. Instead of working on the book though we just went to dinner and caught up.

He's having a party for 150 in two weeks. I'd guess the median income of the guest list is $250,000.

I'm on the list. I bring down the median considerably. He said I can bring my 12-year-old -- his kids are going to be there -- or a date.

So I'm covered either way. The 9-year-old wouldn't enjoy it. There'll be live music and she doesn't like loud music. Plus, you can't touch anything at his house. Too expensive and that would drive her batty.

The DateHookup girl didn't pick up again. I'm starting to wonder if I'm getting the runaround. I'll stay patient though. I just want to get a lunch date out of this.

Don't bring a date! A party like that would be a good opportunity to meet some nice financially stable woman!

The guy giving the party and I were joking that we'd likely the only two without dates.

|Hey, be proud that you're man enough that you can go without a date! Pick someone up there lol.
