J - I sure missed your long thoughtful posts when my thread was locked up. You did it again. Thank you.

You make a good point re the annulment issue. As I understand Catholic doctrine, the W and I will always be married, even though we were married as poor wayward protestants. Does that make a difference? If not, she will not be able to get married in the Catholic church. What a bummer for her after all that effort. Knowing her though, she must have a strategy.

Re my kids, yes I am their rock. At least they can count on one sane adult parent. My wife is still a "drug addict" addicted to the endorphins from her affair, although she gets angry when I call it that. If she actually gets engaged, I will relent. Funny, she used to lovingly call me her "rock". Then she turned 40, dropped the bomb, and told me she didn't need a rock anymore. Now she needed a "dance", and I wasn't a dancer. Charming huh?

Is it getting colder in the far north? I read your post to Lisa. Seems like you are really in a piecing marathon . I admire your endurance. You're an inspiration if I'm ever in a place to DB again.

Take care and don't freeze.

Larry
