10-4 Cali and thanks. Like I said, if W gets bent out of shape that I am there I don't really care. She would be ticked off either way anyways so what difference to me does it make? If I go I am "butting in" if I don't go I am a bad Dad.
On another note, I am amazed how much of a difference getting out of the house and doing strenuous physical activity makes. I left work early yesterday and played about 4 hours of beach volley ball (just like the old days, the really old days). It felt awesome. I came back home, cleaned up and had a great sleep.
Message is - don't sit around feeling sorry for yourself and wondering what W or S is doing. Focus on yourself and what makes you happy. Exercise daily and you WILL feel better.
Duke ... if you really don't care .. you would not project her being upset at you if you did or did'nt. You go to the airport because you want to see your girls, not to piss off W, not to prove you are not a bad Dad ... this is a trending theme for you that you need to work on, I hope you understand where I am coming from and not trying to 2x4 you ... its a hill you need to climb.
The outdoor stuff ... yup, especially right now, its a great way to relieve some stress ... lets face it ... nothing more stressful than the boat you are in at the moment, and that is a healthy way to deal with it.
