He did find one even better than this one (two years old) for about $400 less that we paid then. No purchase yet. Sometimes I wonder if I want him in the basement on his own "box"...so far away...
Class went well today. Had a good laugh with a former student/friend after class. (She's just one of those people, I had a 4 hour lunch with her a few weeks ago). Then had coffee with another former student, this one more of a gentle flower, battling anorexia, doing pretty well right now.
Picked up dinner (no lunch...not good), then CJ, J (best old pal of mine) headed to the marina for another round of hackey sac. Even harder this time as it was only the three of us for most of the game. When the circle is larger each person works less and it's easier to keep it up!
(Sorry for you hack phobes, didn't mean to go on, but we were pretty hot tonight for 3 middle agers ).
Right in the middle of the game, who should emerge from the crowd but my ex-fiance (10 years), his wife and two kids. J said "Isn't that M?" and I looked up and waved. He smiled broadly back. I said "Playin' hack, just like 20 years ago!" (We both learned to play when we were going together in the early 80's).
Then I heard his wife say to the kids "We're going THIS way"...away from us! ...For some reason the woman is very threatened by me. Or so says his mom who I used to have lunch with near our birthdays (...too much crap this year to go ) Gee,now that I think of it maybe the lunches bothered her? Does she know? Never seemed to bother CJ...hmmmmm
He left me for her when I was very ill and awaiting surgery ...Funny, but I didn't know about her until waaaay after the break-up and my surgery and so I grieved for him without any sense of "OW". I felt abandoned, not betrayed.
What did I feel when I saw him tonight? Like seeing an old dear pal. Someone you'd like to chat with a bit. Send off with good wishes. Actually, if it wouldn't have made at least two people very uncomfortable (CJ and M's wife) I might have asked him to join the circle. We really needed more players.
Well that's about it from here. Now on to you!

Good things (Like I even need to add this???):
1) CJ did a bunch of cleaning today and mowed the lawn...yard looks pretty great for a jungle
2) Class went well, even though we were covering the mechanisms of sight, hearing and smell
3) Nice cool breeze off the lake to help dry up the hackey sweat...good work out
