Lou,
OMG... my mind boggles in respect of your customers. How do they do whatever it is they do????

Anyway... on a more serious note, I am always a little stunned to hear of the matter-of-fact way in which mlc-ers appear to make their returns.

For a long while I dreamed of the day that my previously loving H would come to his senses and re-approach me for a reconciliation. I would have screamed from the rooftops and exploded with joy, imagining it as some sort of miraculous moment.

But when you hear about it, it all seems to happen in a much more matter-of-fact way.

Thinking about things, it seems like a much more hopeful circumstance - that you can both discuss your concerns without getting all carried away with the high emotions that have characterised the journey to date.

Anyway, Lou, you just sound so in charge of your own life now.

I'm very glad for you. And that trip in Feb sounds like great fun!
