Thanks for weighing in.

Toots - thanks for pointing me to those books. I did a quick google and some of the sections I found from Marshall definitely rang true. I'll add them to the list. I will most likely check in while I am away. I can't go long before I start wondering what is going on with my DB family!

Mozza - thanks for this. I flip flop myself between thinking "what's the point" and "I need to try some thing different". Without kids, NC actually means NC. A few people have suggested I try to reach out a bit more given that pitch black NC doesn't seem be shifting things (the alternative of course is that maybe not enough time has elapsed or he's just plain moved on). On reflection, his invites to meet up often follow me breaking the silence first. I'm just struggling to figure out what the best way to do this is. Lisa and Zelda have suggested a few more big ticket items (dates, banter) but I sense that would be a stretch (0 to 100km/hr). I'm still looking for the 0-12km/hr option that doesn't seem too weird against a backdrop of not having communicated meaningfully since December.

I thought the upcoming trip could be an opportunity for that - and maybe create a bit of the mystery (my last travel GAL got under his skin). It's not an invite, just a suggestion that we could get together when I get back. The ball is in his court. Actually I will only be back 1.5 weeks before heading off again. The song bit - that's probably 25km/hr. It's a good song though wink

June, eh? That's when we can file.
