(((((Merrick)))))

Oh no, please tell me that your W and I do not share birthdays! We damn Aries women are tough to live with, I know. And boy, is your W personifying all our negative traits right now.

Having met you now, I am having a good chuckle at visualizing Briget's suggestion to hug her and run! But I do think it's the one tact that you haven't taken with her... and it might be interesting to see how she reacts.

I wouldn't even say this if I didn't know how resolved you are to commiting yourself to remaining detached.

Merrick, of all the people who post here, you have got to be the most brilliant strategist of all of us. To those who have not yet met our NY friend, he's got a really good handle on what all this means and how he can best take care of himself and the kids through this stuff. He thinks 10 steps ahead, where most of us are wallowing in now.

Hey, did you make it home in time for the hockey game?

Thanks for hanging out at Starbucks in the rain...
