Hi all. Lots of new people in here, too. I've been gone for two weeks at a seminar on Executive Leadership. I learned more about myself and my family life than I did about my job, though.
Anyway, I can see you've all been very busy. The Passionate Marriage thread was only beginning when I had to leave. Now it's huge. And what's all this I hear about flowers opening and forcing bulbs?
On a nice note, my wife came to bed after a late night trip to the bathroom, snuggled up to me and said, "I love you" in the nicest, most sincere tone. Although she says it from time to time, it's usually at the end of a phone call or when I'm leaving in the morning, like it's just another way of saying goodbye. This really warmed my heart.
Still no physical intimacy, but I refuse to give up hope. I am also beginning to read PM again, to try to have the epiphany that everyone else is sharing.
It's great to be back at work, where I can finally get some rest!
Welcome back H. Doggie Dog glad to see you crackin' into PM.
On a Missouri note, I went to college in MO and a couple of my favorite mountain bike trails are there too. I visit every other year to ride and visit friends.

Hey HP, Dave, Annette, Scott, HH. Good to be back...on the board. The seminar was here in my city, so I came home every night. But instead of sitting with her, watching tv, I would have to read my assignments or write on a project. I was there, but I wasn't really "there", you know? Some pretty good differentiation going on, especially when coupled with the fact that I was getting home later on wasn't as able to do my "duties" around the house, like cleaning, dusting, etc. She had to be responsible for picking up and dropping off DD2. This, coupled with Corri's plan of attack (no pressure on W for affection), which began about 3 weeks ago, has got the W kind of wondering where I am, even when I'm there.
Her mother is in town, staying with us until next Tuesday, but that's cool, because I like her mom.
As for the Missouri connection, it's a good place to bike and hike and a fair place to go to school, although Lawrence, Kansas has a better place to go to school (Go Hawks!)

hairdog! Your back! I was really down last week. I forgot you were on a seminar and for a dreadful moment I thought you had solved your SSM problems and left the forum SD who is able to think of sign-off quips now hd is back.
you make me laugh
