COG's random appearance and his post both tripped me out! And yes, the part you quoted mirrored the conversation you and I had earlier today.
Now I'm no rocket scientist but my guess is there is something significant in my sitch as far as emphasizing moving forward instead of going back. Seriously, I'd never once used that term to him before so Jeff probably never thought of anything except "getting back" together - the idea which of course would have been less than desirable for obvious reasons...but now his perception has been altered.
And how many times have I said to people here that you have to change your perception???
Anyway, I'll just keep pressin' on towards the mark.
