Fire update - winds have changed direction so we are no longer in the path of the fire, and the air outside our house is a little clearer (still it's like walking into a very smoky bar every time you walk outside). Almost 300,000 acres burned in the county, almost 1,000 homes. I keep thinking that somewhere in the 1,000 is some poor LBS who was struggling to keep it together for the kids.
On a lighter note - went out to dinner last night with H and we were talking a little about the R (no, I didn't initiate). H had gotten an email from an old high school girlfriend asking about their upcoming reunion (which my H isn't attending because they were all so terminally boring at his 20th!). Anyway, she's having some problems with a H in MLC and he gave her some advice. He was also VERY aware of the dangers of ex-girlfriends and made sure he told me all about it.
Anyway, H also sent an email to our ex MC yesterday, telling him how well we were doing, and also telling him how important getting treated for his depression was to our R (this is the MC who basically blew me off when I told him H was depressed, and never discussed the idea of treatment with my H).
So anyway, somehow later the phrase "asian women" came up in conversation very tangentially, (OW was Asian) and H rushed to reassure me. I commented that at least if he had to have an affair with an Asian woman, I was grateful he picked someone who wasn't really that attractive (think Chinese peasant, not Lucy Liu). H told me something really funny. He said that one thought he had during the affair was "gee, if I had to fall "in love" with someone, why couldn't I have fallen in love with someone more attractive?". I know it's a little mean of me, but I really got a chuckle out of that!
