And finally, the other shoe drops...

Well it's finally happened. The first solid step towards my "freedom" has occurred. My wife has finally retained a lawyer. She curtly announced to me last night that I should get my lawyer to contact hers. With pleasure! I know there are going to be some tough decisions ahead, but I have to admit that I'm excited over things starting to move ahead. One of many burdens has been lifted off of my shoulders.

I went to a "singing bowl" concert last night which was fantastic. I have never heard them before and it was a real treat to listen to the wonderful harmonics and overtones. Very relaxing...

I will be spending Christmas Day and Boxing Day by myself. My wife will be taking the kids with her to her various family members. It will just be the dog and I, which might just be a nice thing...
