Thanks BTM, it's comforting in some way to hear that I'm not the only one back here for a 2nd shot.
It's definitely harder already because of the previous success. You hear the doubts creep in about whether the M should have been saved the first time. But I think it should have and I think you have to keep working at the M.
I know both of us stopped at it. I know both of us let it go too long. I just don't think there is anything called "too late" because even if you're not feeling it, there is still something there. We got together for a reason. We fought in 2003 for a reason. We stayed together all these years for a reason. Sure we changed but does that mean you scrap the M? No, you learn.
