    Mod-
    That swallowing of pride required a great deal of class, sir.
    I would hope for my little ones to observe a lesson like that first-hand.

    Ha! That's funny. We have been to dinner twice when she's been up this way. Very cool, very bright woman. Unlike me, who knew what he was up against, she was caught totally off guard so it rocked her a little harder. But she rallied quickly, dug in for a very proper settlement and is kicking all kinds of ass now.

    First dinner led to another great convo with my son. Told him we'd dined and how she was doing so well. Jokingly said, "Kind of made me wish I was still in Richmond."

    To which he said: "Dad, you two did absolutely nothing wrong and you're adults and all that shit. But mannnnnnn, that would be weird."

    It's not that unusual.

    Ask Shania Twain.

    You're pretty cool, Moddy.

    Moddy, I've known what I am about to say for awhile, but you are a Quality person. And Quality is not a word that I use lightly - I've read Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance and try to live by a lot of its concepts.

    Moddy, can you give my brother lessons? He's on the way to divorce No. 2 and it looks like it is going to be even uglier than the first.

    Tell him you don't think marriage No. 3 will be any better.

    Third time is a charm for some people.

    At this point, I'll likely be willing to overlook almost anything just to stay married. I want to be single again not at all. Zero interest.

    Being single is a billion times better than being in a bad marriage.

    (Not saying you specifically have a bad marriage - just sayin'.)

    Yup. And I wasn't even in a bad one. It just wasn't a good one anymore.

    I admire those who stay with it. My attitude right now is I can't imagine going through the hoops to get married again (let alone a third time!). I think I'm done.

    A former boss had two marriages, great ones by all accounts, of 30-plus years. First wife died, he remarried a few years later and then he did 30 years after that.
