Good that you have Marianne's support - sounds like she has information that she will share with you to help YOU process. I'm a firm believer that knowledge is power - it's so much more effective to process and plan when you have the information you need to move forward. You sound like you have a good handle on things.
I'm sorry about Barbara too. Pay attention to your red flags going forward when she does respond. They're important.
As far as match.com goes - something tells me that you know what you need. BA, you're a pretty intuitive guy and you've done a pretty damn good job in reading situations well. Whatever you do decide to do, I know you know what's best for you. And you can always decide to switch tactics midstream if you do decide to do something else. Right? Nothing here is etched in stone.
You know I root for the Caps when they're not playing my Avs. Heck, I followed the Caps in their most dismal era (the 70s). So while it's not hard for my loyalties, I still don't enjoy the win as much. Color me an idiot. But truth be told, I really love my Avs and this is the most fun I've had watching hockey in a long time. I'm considering getting season tix again next year. Of course, then I have the stress of finding people to go with me when I do that - which was a problem when I had them. So I might have to just take it in the 4 packs or something. At any rate, I guess it's time for me to head home so I can catch the game against Carolina. Sorry for the disappointment Sunday, BA.
I'm going to do a shout out regarding the game at TG to see who is in. I might have to task you in getting them and write you a check. My D19 and her roomie now want to go, so if you want to make this a family group thing with you too, that is fine by me. Then I'll ask my cousin if his kids are interested - he has a S19 and a D16 too - S19 goes to JMU and D16 is a junior at O'Connell. Then there's Merrick.
Let me know what you think? I could also abandon ship and my girls and head to a sports bar with you and Merrick too. He's in Arlington. That might be easier and more fun too.
Hang in there, bud. You're one of the most enlightened guys I know so I have faith in you. The only way out is through, and you seem like the kind of guy who just gets this.
Hugs-
Betsey
