..goin' down the only road I've ever known

To clarify, the reason I didn't respond to how he entered the relationship despite the presence of 'deal breakers' is that I am not assigning much meaning to him saying that. The first rule of DB is "believe none of what they say and half of what they do". To me this was just fill in the blank stuff. All we really know is that he isn't continuing the relationship.

Happy birthday G. The good news about getting older is that at some point our life gets so screwed up it doesn't even resemble what we originally envisioned. And that can be a blessing as it helps bring about the death of our expectations and allows us to just enjoy what the heck is actually happening here.
