Ed, really, you think? I'm not so sure. Maybe we will get to see a little more about him this week.

I agree about Kypton, Barb, but yes, think that family might have taken me back a little bit if I had been in her shoes. I was pretty impressed with how she handled that part at least.

Not sure why she's so drawn to Wes...even without all the drama swirling around him, he's just kinda gross to me. I mean think about it, she thought she was in love with Jason and now she's crazy about this guy. They couldn't be further apart.

Barb, my update, ah well, not much to report really. Out of the blue, I was offered a job, in another state, and took it. Sounded like a good opportunity and brought me closer to my parents. Sold my farm and moved. Miss my friends in GA, and my little place, but have met lots of wonderful new friends in my new location. I love being closer to home, and the job has proven to be very challenging and rewarding, and a great learning experience. It can also be stressful at times, and requires a lot of travel to NYC, which was kind of cool at first, but is now kind of a drudge.

All in all, I love this new life and I would never go back. Pedro did me a tremendous favor. With the benefit of hindsight, I see how much I gave up to cater to his needs, most of which truly couldn't be met. I don't say that with regret because I loved him, and being with him gave me many gifts, not the least of which is a wonderful relationship with his son, which continues to this day. But, in the end, his choice allowed me to do some things with my life that I probably would never have done otherwise, and I am better for it.

As a dear, wise friend said to me yesterday, it's all about choices. We can't often choose or control what happens to us, but we can choose how we react. In the face of what Pedro did, I chose to live my life. I have learned about doing that from so many others here, like you, who chose to do the same.

besos,
BA
