Mile High:

Thanks for the words of encouragement. I'm loving the new place. I even love the view--I'm on the top floor with a gorgeous view of the woods off in the distance. Not only am I in a better complex, but this particular unit (at the end of the complex, top floor) is extra special given the view. The earth tones in the tiling in the kitchen and bathroom, and the real wood cabinets, are actually nicer than the mid-1990s white vinyl flooring and white cabinets in our house! How's that for an upgrade? I love the bigger deck, the bigger closet, the wine rack above the refrigerator, the peace and quiet. In all, life is more beautiful, literally.

Today I attended a follow up workshop to build on the event I attended a month ago--run by the same organization. It felt great--more working on myself, seeing a few folks I saw a month ago, and making new friends. Didn't think about the wife once all day!

How are things with you and kids? I hope everyone is well.
