Hi sandi2 - yes, I fear that d15 will prefer being with her mom. My W can be very charming, and certainly knows more about girls/women than I do (!).
I did the same dish drying thing you did, and kind of liked it (though the towel always got too wet).
The passion thing is important to me, believe me, having spent enough weekends suffering from "sunday sickness", as Frankl calls it, with nothing to do, just puttering at the office, with no one else around. Meetup has helped, and I've met people I like and had fun. I suspect that being in the university city will be conducive on that front too.
