Thanks, everyone. My greatest hope CAN be that it blows right over his head, but I doubt that it will. And since we don't ever cross physical paths, e-mail has been the only way he knows of what is happening in my life. And he gets news from his mother, since she and I are still friends and do things together. I guess I will take whatever comes and go with it, even though that sounds so defeatist. And it is.
