Well I went to see the L today. She said that the Great State of Texas does not recognize Legal Separation. Wonderful! I told her about our temporary hearing on Monday and that my W came back on Monday afternoon with I love you and this hurts but had to be done. I guess I should have asked, what and why?

The L said maybe she is starting to feel the pain and stress of the D OR is just trying to say I love you but I want the divorce. So another question I never thought about. She says she wants to be friends, if we're D'd, I can't be her friend. But I figure for now, I can show her that I'm that guy she fell in love with and MUCH MUCH MORE. If she goes through with the D, then her loss. I'll be the better man for it.

As I was waiting in the court room, the very first case was dismissed. The couple reconciled. So there is hope.

One last thing about my W. When we first started dating, I made that fateful call asking her out in June of 93. She was supposed to go back to Austin after the summer and find a job after she had just graduated. I made the call, we started dating and the rest is history.

Well, we'll see if I still have that magic.
