Yes, he bought a new Harley, but is selling his other one since it is not a "true" street bike, and with the price of gas I really couldn't argue. We have both agreed we need to move to a bigger house-together I mean. We knew this for a while. He is looking ok. He is not distant, he doesn't sleep like before. He sleeps a little on weekends, but he does get up at 4:30 and has been working 55 or so hours plus a side job. He had been telling the kids it is for him and me(I am not fond of bikes, but he keeps trying). He does take the kids to his side work with him, he has been giving them rides. He is spending a lot of time going to my brother's rallies,( he is running for an office in his union). My h and brother have always been friendly, but never hung out, now he feels he needs to go to these. He even bought a skateboard to go out with my oldsest S on vacation and they went to the skateboard park. We had a nice time on vacation walking trails for hours, and swimming with the kids, etc. He even went as far the other night as to tell me after I had left a barbecue and he was there with S2 that he was thinking of getting a tatoo with my name, so he had to leave. There was a guy there who does tatoos.I am glad he didn't do that. He just seems more alive most of the time. He doesn't look so distant. He doesn't wander off in the garage by himself and stare in the field all the time, actually I can't remember the last time, before it was quite frequently. Hopefully these are good signs.
