The Plank is out of my eyes, but too late for WAW?

Thanks, gentlemen, for the encouragement.

Nothing much new to report on the R front. She left early Sat. morning (7 am flight), so I drove her to BWI. I'm a zombie in the morning, so nothing in the way of conversation there. Gave me a quick hug before walking into the terminal. I had offered to help carry her bags for her, but they were light enough that she could do it herself. Didn't push it. Didn't push the hug. She's a nervous traveller, so stayed out of her way Friday night as she packed. Might have been my imagination, but she seemed to be pulling back a little that night, but she's always done that prior to travel. Hug and a kiss on the cheek before bedtime.

She said she was going to schedule a mediation session before she left. Never said that she had or hadn't, so maybe she is starting to change her mind. Regardless, I've finally gotten to the point where I know I'm going to have a good life either way. I just hope she chooses to remain in it.

Since then, short conversations on the phone before handing over to the kids. No change from the 6 weeks I was in LA on that count. Would love to continue the light conversations we've been having all week, but she doesn't seem interested.

Matt, drop me a line at [e-mail].

Realized that my GAL activities for the weekend were pretty nerdy. I slept through the dance class I wanted to go to at 10 on Sat. So, went out and bought Harry Potter (the most well-written of the seven, probably the best over-all as well. Though it is a shame that the sense of wonder from the first 2 or 3 were lost over the series.) Sat outside Saturday afternoon on the deck, had a little gin, and read HP. Was nice. Finished Harry Potter and took a walk around Gettysburg on Sunday. Very good ranger program, a 2 hour battlewalk over the path of the Pettigrew/Trimble half of Longstreet's attack. Always amazed at how slight differences in the ground can make such major impacts in the way that a battle will turn. History and exercise, love it.
