Oh, KD, thanks for clarifying. I have a small number of friends and I treasure them. It's not a label I apply lightly. I thought you meant going with the x-spouse "as friends".
Interesting ideas and I'll think about them all. I feel less panicky when I realize this time next week I won't have to wonder about it anymore.
