It has been awhile....And I am posting elsewhere on the site, but here is the latest updates.

Really starting to focus on the divorce paperwork. The EX is being very agreeable to everything, so that is a huge plus. The only downside is trying to get the bank to transfer the mortgage to my name only. I tried to DB them, but it just doesn't work. Otherwise, I should be legally divorced in a month or so....Which is a good thing.

The kids are excellent and very tired of school. So they are the basic teenagers. We are about 2/3 through spring soccer season which has been yet again a lot of fun. I highly recommend becoming a volunteer coach....You get to challenge your DB skills while connecting with kids. It is a very rewarding experience.

I have been seeing a wonderful lady for a month now and things are going.....very well. I have told her about this site and all the grisseled vets I considered friends and she is duly impressed.

The only downer since the last post is that I found out what has been ailing my knee for years. While everyone assumed that it was a knee injury, in the end it wasn't. In an odd happenstance, my mother suggested getting a test for lyme disease (I basically live outside and come in only when it rains LOL) and the test came back positive. So I am being treated for that little bugger and starting to feel better. The first few weeks of treatment were a nightmare, but as in hardship; nightmares eventually pass.
