The concert last night was FANTASTIC. Don't know if you know the group but it was The Airborne Toxic Event.

Their opening song got me a little choked up about my situation.
the last few lines -
All I can think is that it must a kind of Rebellion,
To arm your fields like soldiers and Slay them.

I can tell you that you’re all I ever wanted, dear
through the din of your breathing while you’re sleeping here
you wake and ask me if I thought I’d be here forever, forever, forever

Your face so twisted and your eyes a lie
I want to tell you I can change you when you cry at night
But I’d be lying
Love is defying


They have a lot of songs that speak to me about where I am. Still it was fun. Any group that covers 'I fought the law', 'Folsom Prison Blues' and 'I'm on Fire' is okay in my book.

The group features a female violinist. She was kinda haunting.

Anywho -that was last night.

Ever since I told my W about the apt. she's been acting kinda strange - depressed and distant. I think it's gotten real. Our MC appt is set for Aug. 25.

I don't know how to act. I don't want to be depressed, but I worry if I'm too upbeat it will be rubbing it in her face even though I don't 100% agree. I guess I will follow her lead, but not quite as morose.

Don't worry Jack - I had the kids convo in my head with the same result. they are still pretty young, but as the child who was abandon by his father it hits close to home.

I do hope this reduces some of the tension in our house because the limbo is removed, at least part of it. Hopefully, we can enjoy the time for now.

I'm kinda curious why my w pretty insistent on the MC appt (even before she found out about the apt). I hate to ask. I guess i will have my answer on the 25th, eh. I have my IC appt that same week on Monday.

Tomorrow I have a race at the beach. My W may or may not come with the kids depending on the weather.

One strange bit of psychoanalysis on my W. I have notice in the past month or so my W has started talking in her sleep again. She did this pretty regularly throughout our marriage, but stopped about 2 years ago. Now it's starting again.

X you gotta help us our here. Did you ever play Clue?
