Hound - Nice work, you are clearly making progress, but, be very careful.

I was in your spot not long ago with the trip to Lake Placid. W and I spent serious one-on-one time together without an incident. Spent most of last weekend at the house taking my daught ice skating, putting up the tree, etc.

Right now... my w and I are barely speaking. She said that she was going full blast with divorce and that she was moving forward with her lawyer. I did find this funny... I called my lawyer and he completely forgot who I was. Said he vaguely recalls speaking to her lawyer at the end of October, but has heard nothing since.
Very strange.... if she was moving full blast I would have thought the papers would have been served by now. It has been 6 weeks.

So... be very careful
