Thanks, Snodderly. Great insight as usual.

I like your suggestion to just pack some finger foods. I'll definitely want a bit of a snack at some point. All that fresh air works up an appetite! I wonder how long it will be before he asks me for bug dope and sunscreen.

I won't bring up the boat disappearing from the web site. It will be interesting to see how that unfolds. Maybe he plans to list it again in the fall or some similar ridiculous option that lets him think he's doing the right thing.

Nor will I share my news with his D. You're right, she has no need to know and would probably stir the pot with her father, most likely to find out what his intentions are. That's not helpful right now.

I think I'm anticipating what's in his head so that I can protect myself from hurt by being prepared for it. Often that is just a self-fulfilling prophecy. His hot (lukewarm, rather?) and cold gets me. Last time I saw him he said "I wish you met me after I worked through all my issues." I've been chewing on that for three weeks.
