After 17 years of ups and downs, probably more "downs", Miss B and I are calling it quits. Decision made about 2 weeks ago. Tomorrow, I sign a lease on a studio apartment in the Richmond district. On 11/4, the day of our actual 17th anniversary, the movers come to haul away her stuff to Santa Rosa where she has lots of family and an old friend with a large, empty nest. I'll wrangle the cleaners on 11/5, and that will be that.
Lots of time for healing. The new place looks very quiet and has it's own deck in the back yard. Across the street from GG Park and not far from the ocean. For 5 years I have had no room to myself, no small place that was just mine; to have my own space again is almost indescribable.

Sorry to hear. Sounds like you need some whiskey stat.
You know, I never had a signicant conversation with your now ex ever.
Turn and face the strange.

UM, good? Bad?
I hope the best for you.
Can we lessen the amount of changes until the end of the year. I'm about at my limit.
As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm

Inevitable. Unqualified "good" for me, qualified "good" for her. All very civilized so far.

So... It sounds gooder than badder, for the moment.
May it continue to change smoothly.

Can still here foghorns in the new cave -- one of my favorite sounds in the world and the one that reminds me most of home.
Sat with the door open to the deck today, while unpacking the days haul of new items for domesticating said cave. Outside it was overcast, foggy, and I could hear hawks screeching at each other in the distance. Lovely.
Shopping for the cave was not. That was depressing. Not the items, just the act. One of The Ladz (my fellow coaches at M-Team) played chauffeur, so it was painless. Keeping busy has been keeping my mood artificially elevated.

Let me know if you need some artwork for the cave. I have plenty. Although it may not be to your taste...

Your ceramic tentacle still resides proudly in my cave! I have some art, but am leaving the walls bare for now as it makes the place look bigger and lighter. Thank you for the offer, though!

Sitting on the stairs outside the North Beach apartment. Ms B is on her way north, following the movers. I’m waiting on the cleaning crew. Spent some time on the roof deck looking out at the gray city and the golden bridge. Now is when it is finally real.

Me too. Maybe you did already. But I've lost it. Or it's in my files and I'm too lazy to look it up.
Actually, I guess I can just send stuff to Victory, huh? As if I was going to send you something. Which I might (too lazy to night drop anymore).

Wait a second! I have something for the Yeti, too. How is this possible?
I'll probably drop it off next week when I come up in stealth mode...

The only thing that I have for PPFY is best served on a dish...cold.
Forgot your glasses, thought you were Deb, MY ASS. I could see you had your contacts in.
Okay, maybe 'MY ASS' isn't the best way to bring up this old scar, but I had a long commute today.
