Hi Sotto. Wow, that's a lot of news!! Would you mind if I take them in order of importance ?

1/. Your thinking of going on a date !! Really pleased and a little jealous ! I think you have overtaken Vanillia in the GAL stakes and I keep expecting to see

" SOTTO takes BEAR on Safari but he can't hack it. " advertised on TV !!

But going on a date will answer a lot of questions for you. I have been there and I knew I wasn't ready so maybe you will get to know how you really feel

2. Doing great at work. Why aren't I surprised ? It's not as if we are ever impressed by your compassion , intelligence and wit. How would any of that translate into the work place ?

3. You got a piece of paper What difference does that make ? You will be much more financially secure , your H will get to feel real loss and you are still the amazing , great person that is Sotto I am making light of the serious side and I didn't like to read how you cried for 12 hours but what doesn't kill you and all that. It's so tough Sotto. You are an amazing woman and H can see this but some part of his brain will not connect the dots

All Sotto can do is to continue to become even better ( if possible )

Take care and remember if handsome dan doesn't work out there are plenty more fish in the sea ( both the channel and the Irish )

Take care. Rd. xxxx
