Taking the high road

It appears my estranged wife read this blog for the first time. Her response was typical, I suppose, and what I expected.

But I told her to read more, that there's plenty in here for her to ponder, laugh about, remember and reminisce.

I write this blog mainly because it keeps me writing and allows me to put some personal details about my life in a space that's not confined to a single piece of paper.

I would encourage her to keep reading. It's not always about bad stuff. You get to know someone a bit just by reading about what they've written.

In the old days, a diary used to have a tiny lock and key on it, and you would be hard-pressed to find any girl willing to open said diary for fear some boy might be reading over her shoulder.

Nowadays, with the Internet, darn near everything is as public as you want it to be.

So go ahead, Cherie. Read on. You'll find that it's not always going to be about you.

Now, if I can just figure out how to master step aerobics...
