Divorce Day

December 7th, a date which will live in infamy.

I am now divorced.
I know this is not the picture you expected.
That one will be here soon.
I did not finish it.
I had a wonderful lunch with some friends.
Spent an hour or so with my sister.
Spent another hour with a friend.
Then I did some shopping (flirting with a girl in the store to try my new freedom on),
and then I came home.

I cleaned off the counters of all the divorce paperwork.
I just put it away as it is no longer needed.
Almost 7 months ago to the day
my wife sat down on the couch and said:
"I don't want to be married anymore".
Some of the things that she said after that really hurt me.
Anyone who has been following this dialog knows that.
I have expressed anger, sadness, pain and joy through photos and words.
Now I express a new emotion.
Today I am relieved.
Today my divorce is done.
It is over, and the judge said so.

After the cleanup I made a dinner that would have been fit for a king!
Filet Mignon, baked potato, fried onions and mushrooms.
It was amazingly good. Yum Yum.
I topped it off with a bottle of Silverado Merlot.
It was the PERFECT wine with this meal.
I am just mellow and happy.

I want to thank each and every person that has supported me through this.
I am not going to name names here.
You all have kept me on track through this.
Even if I could have handled it alone,
I am glad that I did not have to.

And for the last time, I will include a message directly to my EX-wife.
I have fulfilled every vow and promise that I ever made to you.
Our relationship is now completed.
I don't think you should read this website anymore.
All you will see is my life blossoming.
I am not sure you would even want to see that.
So don't look anymore.

I am now reminded of a song from the movie "Night of the Comet"
"Now that you got everything that you wanted,
you're gonna have to learn to deal with your dreams".
Goodbye Karen.
