SD...Delil@h...sofar..cire..craig...thanks so much I am going to order the book today.

In 1995, when my senior partner and I split, I subleased space from a colon and rectal surgeon who trained with me as a general surgeon. I took over the office in 2000 and he sublet from ME on weekends...which...eventually went to 2 weekends per month. Today, he called me to tell me that he was going to terminate the arrangement. Sadly, it's a several hundred dollar a month loss, but, he told me the same story that I am a victim of myself.

Last year, he earned $24,000. Yes folks, a specialist, surgeon, busy doc...here. We just can't do it anymore...at least here in my state in my area.

For those Pinewood followers....I didn't go to the districts but my son's car was the only one to rank from his pack and he placed 34 out of nearly 110 cars. Not bad for the first time. I have times and mph if any one is interested.

Lastly, this Friday, the Blue and Gold Cub Scout dinner takes place. My W and I will be there. It WILL make for an uncomfortable evening as I am SURE she will try and reserve table spots without me. I will deal with it if she does. She also told me that she is going on the Cub Scout outing Aug 1 and 2. I didn't want to say, "if it's your weekend". Custody may change that. We'll see. I am getting some extra time with the kids at night since she is ...at least I think...running to her mother's house to do her college work. She does NOT do it by herself.

It's probably time to stop posting the daily crap. I am in a dead marriage and trapped until this is over. It DOES suck...I will tell you all that. There is only ONE thing positive about this situation...it will force a settlement since NEITHER of us wants to continue this way.

The kids.......are collateral damage....and it still hurts me. They didn't deserve this and I need to work thru this portion now.
