So, re-thinking the bike tour thing....every April, folks down here cycle from Houston to Austin in the annual MS 150. It is a fabulous event...no comparison. My company has a HUGE team with tent and all at the mid-way point. Anyone on this site who would like to join the ride can ask the Mods for my contact info and I will gladly help you join our Team. I will gladly host all MB-ers who want to ride at my house the night before the ride and the night after the ride. Accommodations in La Grange would be part of the Team accommodations...

A man who abandons his wife and children because of his infidelity is no price. I can do better then that, I deserve better then that.

The difficulties and struggles of today are but the price we must pay for the accomplishments and victories of tomorrow

Men must be honest with themselves before they can be honest with others. A man who is not honest with himself presents a hopeless case

As always psub, best wishes in your struggle for your kids. One thing I always admired about you, is that even with all the crap your ex and her posom give you, you only try to protect yourself and your kids not send her over the edge into oblivion. You could do it if you had 1/10 of her bitterness. She is most definitely bat $hit crazy.

I was there from 93-97. Last time I rode up in State College was in 2002. IMHO State College is the best place to live on the east coast if you are a cyclist. Did you ever do the Black Mo ride?

I ride a custom steel Waterford 1100. Waterford was an unofficial sponsor of the cycling team when I was in school. It is a REAL Schwinn. When Schwinn was sold in the early 90's, Richard Schwinn kept the Paramount race frame shop in Wisconsin. SInce he couldn't keep the name, he renamed the brand Waterford.

The frame is going on 17 years old now. I had it refurbished in 2002 - the factory re-aligned it, full repaint, etc. That's beauty of custom steel. It was the frame I won the 1996 Eastern Collegiate Cycling Championships on.

I drive from Houston to Austin and get worn out. Even the thought of riding a bike makes me need a nap.


Lucky to be where I am, in a safe place to get marriage-related support.

Happy.

PSUBiker,
I hope you don't mind a little off topic and personal question. If you don't want to answer I understand.

With all the legal wrangling you have been going through how are you handling the lawyers bills?

When I was facing divorce one of the main hurdles i faced was how to pay the lawyers to try and protect my kids.

Thank you for your example and courage.

My folks have been helping a bit, once the QDRO's splitting out her retirement to me are processed, I was going to cash those out to pay my fees. Plus, we are going to go after fees for this latest fiasco as well as reopen fees for the alimony - we spent three hours in court back in January debating whether POSOM and exWW were boyfriend - girlfriend. ExWW swore under oath they were not. 7 weeks before the alimony hearing exWW filed a police report against POSOM stating he was her live in boyfriend.

My fees with all the false PFA's, alimony, etc could have paid for two years of in state tuition at Penn State.

Just chilaxing before tomorrow. I do have kids today. First time in 3 weeks I've seen them. DD6 is her normal self. DS8 seems a little off. I can definitely see signs of badmouthing from the ex and POSOM.

Aaaarrrrgggghhhh. I get an email from exWW. Actually, it was written by POSOM asking for a continuance tomorrow. If you go by the email, exWW had a spinal tap on Friday, the 30th. Then, today she was admitted to the hospital because of a complication of the spinal tap. POSOM just sent the email. My guess is my lawyer will want to push forward and ask for a default judgement on her petition. Since exWW will not be there tomorrow, not sure what will happen.

I'm thinking an excuse like that requires a doctor's note. It would at the high school where I teach.
