Today has been a difficult emotional day.

[Zeke]

1. Life failures haunt us all.
2. Sometimes, they exist in physical manifestation.
3. Sometimes, your former in-laws have to put your married life dog down.

And, sometimes, that canine is the last manifestation of a dream that you once had.

This is a public forum. It is not a forum my ex-wife will ever seek out. In fact, as a guess, the only people who will ever seek this out will be (at some level) enemies. Only enemies would ever try this hard.

4. That woman, was a fine wife.
5. That dog (there were two but we're discussing the beagle) was a fine dog.

I don't know what the Hell I am doing, right now.

I do know this: if/when anyone finds this -- for any reason -- and tries to use it against me?

That admission is a sign of strength, not weakness.
