Thanks Kim for your kind words. Let me know when you're out my way, will you? I think you'd love the warmer Atlantic or Gulf water here, but better wait until Hurricane season has passed...

Martha, wassup with the ditto, Girl? (j/k) I hear you both loud and clear.

Had a good eve with S6 last night, dropped him off at school a tad late and had to go to the office with him to explain his tardiness. Sure brought back memories of going to see the principal - yikes! S6 was so disappointed for being late, and I remember thinking - "Wow. This little guy really depends on someone remaining stable and steadfast in his life." And that someone will be me. XW will make her own choices but I won't let him down.

Had a few beers after work with a friend/neighbor who gave a talk in my last class today. He informed me of a handful of rather hot neighbors who are also recent entries into the D world, noting that he wanted to introduce me to a few of them.

I swung by work just now before I head to the gym in a few minutes, and XW and S6 came into the main office. Gave me a chance to give S6 some bear hugs and kiss on him, and XW started chatting about her move tomorrow. She noted that she was up until 3am working and I validated slightly (had a little buzz going and was distracted by S6). I think I was at least acting detached.

Off to work out. My DC trip is tomorrow.
