Hi all,

Not going into great detail. I had a whole bunch of fun at six flags. We all like amusement parks. My ex-wife's son was too small for a lot of the bigger rides and was pretty nervous about a lot of the other ones, but I guess he did okay. We had a fun time for the most part. The boys all got along really well.

I talked with my ex on the phone every day, several times a day. Then we talked about meeting in Minneapolis on Friday and doing something. That didn't go over very well. She is scared of driving in the city and I did terrible trying to get her to the hotel. But that worked out. Then when I saw her I got a little too physically amorous and was rejected. I took that very poorly. Basically a big setback. And then R talk again that went badly. Fortunately we made up pretty good at the baseball game.

This morning I was crabby so again had a bad interaction. I kind of smoothed it over before I left. She wanted me to spend the day with her and the kids. It was very difficult to say..."No, I'm ready to go home. Sorry we didn't get to hang out"
I shouldn't have went there with the physical stuff. I'm going to try to be on my best behavior and convince her that she's safe with me. She just wants to be friends (I need to remember that means "for now"). Damn me.

In the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years.
