MLC - we are not moving now or in the immediate future. W is not, I believe, looking for a place to live yet. D is not immediately coming, I believe, due to house renovation delay. Hence my feeling that it is not necessary or good to tell d15 anything just now.

Re mad, no, when W said "your thesis doesn't interest anyone", I said thanks, sarcastically, immediately after her POV.

Hard to be with? D said a year or two ago "you have to ask me questions, Dad", so I do that now. Sometimes the silences just feel too long, awkward. I used to be more MITish, my closest work colleague would say space shot, in my head. Oh, I don't feel like I have a firm fashion sense either, got enough grief on that front from W.

I do change being alone when I am in the States, with meetup making it easy (I go to three different groups). Here it is harder, but I just emailed a friend some music pieces asking if we should get together for a jam again. This same friend apparently has marriage problems of his own - I think he could be a good person to talk to, and is generally someone I admire (except he seems to be cheating on his W).
