SPM - Football is the greatest sport ever. It is a battlefield chess game with brief moments of intense violence. I cant think of any other sport where a coach has as much influence in the outcome of a game. I will root for any Pac 10 team if they are playing in a bowl game - even the Dogs or the Cats of Washington. One of my all time favorite QB's (Warren Moon) was a dog.

As for my M, it is definitely going to end soon. I just hope to come out of it with the shirt still on my back. I dont mind paying child support and the division of assets, however, spousal support does not seem right since my W is living in an expensive home with OM on Lake Oswego. I am fortunate to be amicable with STBXW and we are 50/50 on custody which is best for the kids in this situation. I also have my first date this weekend and I am a bit nervous and excited.

I hope the bike riding has been good for you and that your situation has improved some. As I remember, you really were getting unjustly screwed over by your W. Have you been doing much with the kids this summer?
