Sometimes a good divorce is better than a bad marriage.
Why my life will never be the same
When I was in second grade I remember sitting at lunch and hearing one of my friends talk about her parents getting a divorce. I thought to myself, that would never happen with my family; my parents are happy, life is good, we are doing good, and we do stuff together. They will never get divorced. My parents always tried to work through their problems civilly at that time. They wouldn't fight in front of us, they would try to come to an agreement without even raising their voices. As the years went on, that was no longer the case, and I soon learned that things are not always as they appear to be. Here is the tragedy that lead to me learning that lesson.

The Sex and Colour of Justice
In time, my father-in-law passed away and I was told rather than asked that we were moving in with my mother-in-law. This was not a prospect that exactly enthralled me, but I was given no option. My misgivings about living under the same roof as my mother-in-law was not born out of any particular dislike for the woman herself. I just knew how dependent she was and that we would not get any time nor space for privacy nor intimacy. As things turned out, I was bang on the button with that one.

The Sex and Colour of Justice
It is with varying degrees of mixed feelings, namely cold comfort and lukewarm satisfaction, that I can claim that over fifteen years of legal and illegal persecution, I was never bettered by a single lawyer in a court of law. However, even having won every single case against me, in something like fifty trials, I still came out of it all in ruins. In short, I managed to seize defeat from the jaws of victory.

Divorce After 40
I will start with how we met... I was 28, and we are going back 20 years.. Yes! I lived with this for 20 years. He owned a restaurant, I walked in and applied for a job as a server. He hired me based on how I looked and dressed and had no interest in my experience; which was fine because I didn’t have any anyhow, and that saved me from having to lie my way in.

Hazard
Sometimes, I’m floored by the sheer clumsiness I can demonstrate in seemingly simple things. I can trip on my own shadow and fall up the stairs. My mom still teases me for awkwardly apologizing to a tombstone on behalf of the buried man in Virginia City, NV, when I was 14.

Kid fun with Food and everything Dad is afraid to play with when it's so easy
I have known a million guys with daughters who had no idea what to do with them. Some I dated, some just needed to learn how to spend pretty girl time with their daughters and some just thought because I was a juvenile probation officer and raised a goddaughter alone at 19 for my USAF bestie who ended up a single dad with one phone call, I could answer anything kid related - they weren't wrong..I still have a inner child/geek that used to make me the coolest friend on the planet.

Memories
The was a serenity about the place that one had to experience to understand. Perhaps, standing on top of a mountain, exposed to howling winds, needle-like blades of snow slicing into the skin, numbing fingers and toes, was more than enough to begin a memory. Then again, it may have been the contrasts of colors, Majestic views of snow tip mountains, dark green pine trees protected by blankets of snow under Icy cold blue skies.
