Cooker,<P>Since our stories seem so similar, I always look for your posts and intelligent words of wisdom and advice. You seemed to have disappeared a bit these days...is everything going okay for you?<P>Lisa<P>------------------<BR>---------<BR>To err is human, to forgive divine.

Hi Lisa,<P>Thank you for the kind words. Actually things are going OK. I had my son for the entire holiday week, which was a blast and really helped me survive the season a lot better than I thought I would. I had a small downer right after Christmas, but a good friend helped me along.<P>I have so much to be grateful for, despite my current marriage demise, that it would be ridiculous for me to feel sorry for myself (doesn't always stop me, though ). I've got an off week without my son, which is not fun, but on the bright side, it looks like we may get a break in the weather & I can ride my bike somewhere other than in the living room That & I've got a business trip to Florida next week!!! <P>How are you doing? I know sometimes we just need to talk to someone, so if you ever want, my e-mail is skeeebums@home.com<P>Take care...<P>------------------<BR>nick<P>it's only time that heals the pain <BR>and makes the sun come out again
