Quote: I've decided to leave NG and his social circle behind, its a cheeseless tunnel at best, and frankly, he is fun to be with as he is, so why ponder on other possibilities?
Excellent. I agree completely.
Quote: I'm finding when I don't interfere, things do happen, and my life is all the more relaxed for it.
Even more excellent! This is one of several times recently he's really stepped in when you've let him. Great job!
Looking forward to hearing about your holiday... when is it?
