Puppy.... I pondered for a second... just one or two... than burst out laughing.... thanks for that.

Here's how Part II went...

I came home from work, and approached her:

Me: I think that us getting together was a good idea. Too bad it didn't work out. Can we try again some other time?

Her: Sure.

10 minutes later.... in private:

Her: If we are gonna get together again, YOU need to schedule it. You need to approach me about it.

Me: What?

Her: You know, the arrogance you showed today... coming home and acting like nothing. It proves to me that my decision is right.

Me: What? What are you talking about?

Her: Questioning the credibility of my lawyer???? How much family law experience does she have???? Arrogant.

Me: If expecting you to pay your fair share of family expenses is "arrogant" ... then I'm guilty

Her: Oh, you are. And the ball is in your court. You schedule the next meeting.

BTW, next week is very bad. I am traveling; I have a meeting with two very important people...

Me: 48
