Au Revoir mes Amours.
Baseball has ended in Montreal, starting place of Jackie Robinson's career. MLB is poorer for it.
So am I.

*******************************************

The gifties for Paul finally showed up, about five days late for some reason. I was a little panicked because the package was mostly gift cards that any idiot can use, plus a money order so that I can finally get some school pictures of my monsters.
Without further ado, here is what the nine year old said:
"I got some movies. I got Dude Where's My Car, Clash of the Titans, Space Jam, Beetlejuice and Goonies. I also got a game called Etherlords 2. I got two books of the series that I'm reading about a princess and a dragon queen. That's basically it. Thank you."
I'm not really sure how it happened, but my ex and I apparently created a movie junkie. Just because he named his baby sister after a Star Wars character (Leia) doesn't mean it was inevitable. He's a movie junkie with a 9-year-old's tastes, but what else can you expect? Laure was a little puzzled by his choice of Space Jam, but really any movie with Bugs Bunny is good, so I can't fault him for that. "Dude Where's my Car?" is a completely different story.
Now that I know the picture money arrived, and that October 7 is picture day, I can't wait for the mail to come.

I did finally talk to Jen and it went very, very well. thanks for the encouragement. as to that compliment, I could be wrong, but it sounds warranted to me, It is obvious how much you care, and that you try, Trust me, after working in both the family law system and in juvenile courts I know that many, many parents dont even make an effort or appear to care at all, even when they are in the home or so close that almost no effort is needed. Just caring and making the effort puts you ahead of much of the pack.

Sorry to hear about the end of baseball there. I haven't followed any sports for a while now, so that kind of took me by surprise.
