Somebody pick me up offa the floor, please...
We just got word that Eric's BC has asked if he would CONSENT TO A DIVORCE!!!!!
YA THINK???? She's actually found some brain-damaged sumbitch who wants to marry her, so...The only answer to THAT is: HELL YEAH!!!!!! Her only stipulation (so far) is that we (or, rather ERIC) pays for it. Okay. In less than about 4 minutes online, I found a lawyer right here in our county who'll do a "no-fault" for less than $300.00. Eric meets all the requirements for residency, etc., so I'll be calling this guy tomorrow. With (my almost ex, who suggested that we do the same thing at the same time- what the hell, why not? Me and him are gonna split the cost and I'm gonna still say we're married if he needs me to, to run off any "Fatal Attraction" chicks... lol) George involved on her end, keeping her as sane as possible, it'll probably be as easy as it can be (raps head with knuckles in lieu of wood), but, even if she does get gonzo mid-flight, once this ball gets rolling, it won't be stopped til Eric is free, which, if she is cool about it, can be in as little as 2 months. That puts an end to "spousal support", too... Doesn't necessarily clear up the arrears, but capping that particular gusher is still gonna be cool as hell... Man. I'm still floored.
It's for real, too.
I can feel it in my gut... It's gonna happen.
He's gonna be free IN MY LIFETIME!!!
(Provided I don't get hit by, say... a BUS or anything anytime soon.) Well, I've said it before and I'm gonna say it again... endlessly... Thank You, God.
No matter how it goes, no matter how hard it may get... thank You, Dude. From that soccer ball, through finding Pop-pop's tie tack to this, yer freakin' me out, now... But, Gaw-damn, it do feel good. Eric's already called his Mom and one brother and I'm currently getting a guy (Scheese again) in Dad's lab at work to check the schedule to see when he's gonna be there, so I can tell him.
I'd call him at home with this, buuuut... he is working dayshift tomorrow, so he may already be in bed.
(See? Didn't blame Kim a bit for my not calling him at home THIS time... *big toothy grin*) Sorry...
Just a little bonkers right now.... Anyway, I gotta go do some cartwheels or backflips or smoke something or something, so I'm gonna go for now... I'll definitely keep ya's posted... "posted"... ugh, what a bad, bad unintentional pun... Peace, ya'll...

Dear Stevie - I am so happy for you. Having just gone through my own little circle of Hell, I felt really bad for you when I read about the "soccer ball" and put you in my prayers every night since. This is great news and it even picked me up for the day. Thanks. Love to you both, Terry

Hi Love,
The news sounds really good! By the way, you may call me anytime at home. You're about twenty years behind if you think Kim doesn't want you to call. She even asks me every month or so if I've talked to you lately, and tells me what a dick I am, (not to mention lousy father) and I tell her I read your blog and leave you notes all the time.
As a matter of fact, she reminded me yesterday (my birthday) to call you to make a date for us to come out to see you during your birthday weekend. (I'm on my seven days off, then.)
Is there anyplace within a twenty mile radius where we can find a place that has Kareoke on Friday or Saturday, that weekend? Ask some of you co-workers, customers, or call people randomly from the phonebook...We need some good country music.. Tomorrow night I'll be singing at the PeaPatch Pub in Delaware City. I missed the last time I was supposed to sing there because I was called into work, and Paul,who owns the joint won't let me forget it. We stopped in there last evening, got a free birthday beer, and the threat
that if I didn't show up on Saturday, they'd come to my house and and drag me behind their Harleys
over to Delaware City.....(?) I'll call you sometime soon to see what you found out about a K-bar, and to make a date to see you at the end of the month...
Love you, Dad
