I am trying to get as much mileage out of BB wanting to attend this particular church and her saying how much she likes going there.



Oh yeah... I forgot about this part. I think I said when you first mentioned this guy that I thought he didn't sound too promising.

Gee, Lou, my fantasy for you is to get up one morning, leave BB a note, the checkbook, permission for her to file for divorce if she wants to, and for you to get a ONE-WAY ticket on a tramp steamer (do they still have those things...? Probably not... okay, you can take a regular ship) and sail to Europe, kind of like the guy in The Razor's Edge.

With your mechanical/technical knowledge, your cooking ability, your infinite patience, your kindness, and frankly, your looks (I did see your pic), you would be fighting off women with a stick! I'm absolutely positive of that!

The day-in-day-out grinding... I can't even think of the right word... monotony, routine, drudgery, despondency of your relationship with BB-- not your entire life, but specifically your life with BB-- is so discouraging. What do you have to look forward to? More of the same more of the same more of the same until one of you... you know. Geez... not much of an advertisement for getting older...

How many good years do you suppose you have left, Lou? 20? 25? You can have a lot of sex in 25 years if the other person is interested.

Okay, you don't have to leave forever... but what if you take off for a year or two? Just have an adventure. Maybe BB will be so mad she won't let you come back. Have some FUN before you're *70*!!
