The Forest Moon Of Endor, and Time to Say Goodbye
Hi everyone.
Assuming there is anyone there.
Well, we bought the house, a nice one in the San Carlos hills. I get up every morning and it looks like I moved to the forest moon of Endor, just waiting for an ewok to pad by. This morning while working out with the swords, I was kept company by no end of birds, deer and other wildlife.
I have a wife that is happy, sane,..and loves me.
Pregnancy is coming along nicely, in about a month there will be daughter number 3. Son, daughter 1 and 2 are doing fine, growing and learning and becoming whomever they are destined to become. I now have kids ranging in age from 20 to not quite 0, who would have believed it?
I get along with the ex well enough. She is still a nut, but a benign nut. I think she has finally come to grips with the fact that there was nothing really wrong with us, and just a whole lot wrong with her at that point, along with a therapist in rehab that had a huge ax to grind against the men of this world. Sounds like a cliche, doesn't it? Most of life is a cliche, we just need to get used to it.
And I have run out of reasons to post. It is five years later, and like Job, all has been put back as it was, only better. Perhaps in all of it, I am wiser.
What now? I haven't quite started asking that question yet, it is about four months premature. The time to start planning the next 40 years of your life is not one month before your baby is due.
I really do not consider the daily comings and goings of my life to be sufficiently interesting enough to post for review. This has been a useful journal to me, and perhaps to others. But clearly, it is done.
Good luck to all, may life continue to surprise you, and may you find joy.
