Thanks, all.

lc4, I don't think W is that miserable. She has always preferred being alone to being with others, even her own kids. She has very few friends. She told me that as a teenager she would spend hours outside playing by herself. In the last several years she would sit at her computer all evening playing games. She might be lonely but I think - yeah, I know, mind-reading - she is content.

But that's OK, because I'm content, too.

CS, that's an interesting observation about the "stop DBing" comment. If you take the term "DB" literally, the inference is that one wants to stop the impending divorce.

I'm still on the fence about that one.

But we have come to accept the term "DB" as more than that; it becomes a way of life, of self-improvement. Busting the divorce is a side effect. So looking at it in that light, I will continue the way of life that I have discovered through DB. Maybe I'll call it something else, like "Old-Me-Busting" (OMB, for short).

And to answer your other question, I'm an amateur musician; that's why the music studio is a big part of my life and sanity. Lots of guitars, banjos, mandolins, amps and all of the other goodies that go along with them. I'll be glad to get them all up on the main floor.

jb & KD, youse guys rock. (Actually, you all rock). Thanks as always for your comments.
