It's Your Lucky Day!

This Saturday, July 7th, thousands of couples will tie the knot in hopes of using 07-07-07 as a lucky start to their new lives together. The cynic in me wants to remind them that one out of every three marriages end in divorce, and ask them if they still want to play the numbers game.

Saturday, I traveled to Kentucky to visit the family. We all met for lunch, which was fine. Dad drove an hour, Em drove an hour, I drove 3.5, and met at Mom's new apartment.

A few weeks back, I blogged about how Mom and Dad were separating (not divorcing). They seem to be doing fine. Dad is retired, but recently got a job as an farm inspector and that keeps him pretty busy. It's still very odd to act like nothing is wrong or nothing has changed. It really kinda freaked my sister and me out. Perhaps this will just be a phase like last time, although Mom says she's not moving back in with Dad. She wants him to move and live with her, but there's no way he can give up the farm. Personally I'm not sure even if he could, he should move. He lets her do everything she wants anyway, so giving in once more probably wouldn't help.

The rest of the weekend was pretty fun. More hottub relaxation...oh and a friend came in town to visit. He was str8 when I knew him, and came out after he moved away. Crazy times!

I'm working the next 6 days, but I'm wishing you and yours a great 4th of July holiday week.

Smooches.
