Delboy, I posted to Smurf Man (Simon) last evening and got a response. He's doing well. His son is still w/his xw and his daughter has fully grown up and he's enjoying being on his own. He just returned from a trip to Singapore and is thinking of moving there...but hasn't made a final decision on that as of yet.
He sent his regards to you.
BTW, he still pops in periodically to read, but doesn't post.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
