Well, you must be open to something. I sheepishly admit that I have yet to feel spiritually overwhelmed by a red wheelbarrow in the rain next to the chickens.

The fruits of what?

My change of religious direction?

Overall, a greater sense of internal peace, strong meaningful loving relationships with my family and friends (minus you Mike. Everything went fubar with you once I was honest with you about my feelings in the the church), a feeling of being closer to God. There is more thought. There is more meditation.

Peace in the home. Peace in the heart.

Am I volunteering more at soup kitchens? Am I doing more volunteer work in the community? Yep.

Good for you.

For the record, it wasn't you leaving the church. It was your selfish and indulgent behavior. But that's all water under the bridge. I've moved on.

Sometimes things don't work out.

Why do some people get dumped and feel like they have to come back again and again to be understood or inflict pain or whatever?

Eventually people just grow up and move on. That's nice when that happens.

I think I can safely speak for everyone on the board in saying that we have no desire whatsoever to sift through the intimate details of the Robin-Mike breakup. For the love of all that is holy, please stop.

Nobody wants to know about Robin polishing the rocket either. Am I wrong?
