Thanks!

Matt, yes I still need to hear I probably made the right decision.

CC, I am an old time father in that sense. I make the boundaries and take responsibility for the consequences. Makes for a more secure environment for the kids.

Dennis, one positive outcome of this tragedy is that I have learned a good deal about myself. Who I am, what I need. What I can give. Simply my pros and cons. I am not afraid of women per se, but I have learned the hard way that it takes time to really get to know someone. Or, more importantly, to listen to the signals that for quite some time may be obscured behind the pinkish fog of new love. And to have confidence in those signals. I know there are plenty of fantastic women out there but I am in no hurry what so ever. On the contrary - I long for the freedom.
