Thanks for the check in Tori, I haven't posted for a while since not much has changed.

Wife is still cool to me, so I'm continuing to give her space. She seems to be wallowing in and out of a mild depression. No fighting/spewing, but no connecting. We're friendly roommates who share the chores. It's weird when you live together and have such little interaction, but I truly feel it's still better for the M (and finances) than living separate, so I deal with it.

My TKD class presentation was moved up again, to next Friday. This is ok, as I'm sure it will still be a go, and heard there is already a strong interest in it! Just knowing I have this coming up has been huge for me. It's really helping me feel good about myself and my life, at a time when I could sure use it. I will post more about this as things unfold.

I went to see "Oz, the great and powerful" last night. I asked W if she wanted to go, but she said no, because she heard the ratings were bad. (so?) A few minutes later my buddy called and asked if I wanted to go see it with him and his family!

I highly recommend this movie. The lead character, "Oz", a traveling carnival magician, is in a sort of life crises of his own. Completely dissatisfied with his lot in life, he wishes he could "do something great", but really doesn't believe in himself. Go see it.

M: A really long time.
Crisis: 5 years.
She's still worth it.
