Time and tide...

Thanks everyone, for the nice welcome back. I've been lurking and posting occasionally to other threads. But just didn't feel up to posting on my own thread until I felt like there was something new to post about.

If you want to give her relief act as if. If you need time to grieve, don't worry about it --these are her choices and you don't need to fix it for her. You do need to let her off the hook at this point and give up on temperature taking.

Easier said than done. Just today, W sends me a text asking about my availability in March. She wants to order basketball tickets. She also reminded me that it is spring break and she would like to plan a little side-trip. On the heels of our conversation from just 2 days ago, what could possibly be running through her mind?

Like Accuracy said, drag yourself back to the board and paddle out -- there are some beautiful swells out there. Mmmmm....And, you are so money.

Ha! I remember that one, Busto! I have a friend who tries to remind me of that from time to time. I just need to live it, breathe it, believe it!!

What's your next adventure, 2? Whatcha gonna do with your boys?

Good question. My plans for a high sierra camping trip last summer got bumped due to the consulting gig that cropped up unexpectedly at the same time. I suspect we'll try again this summer. I would like to try something else with them, like maybe a cruise or a ski trip or something like that. I'll have to see. These consulting gigs are coming fast and furious and the client up in Maine wants me back for another round. So planning gets a little difficult.

Speaking of catching a wave; surfing used to be my passion when I was younger. I've always wished we lived near the coast where I could teach the boys how to surf and watch the stoke build in them like it once did for me. I did recently take the boys to watch the movie "Chasing Mavericks" and they both thought it was mucho supremo!

Hmmm, maybe Costa Rica...
