Chet's Passport
All day long. All day long in the passport office. Four hours in the morning and then back for another hour in the afternoon to pick it up. The place looked like the fall of Saigon. Families of all hues, speaking all languages, camped on the floor, asleep on each other in fiberglass school chairs. All this because the government didn't get me my son's passport before we leave for vacation. They only had eight weeks to get it back to me. The kids had to miss their last day of school and cried and cried.
The highlight was Chet, however who said this to his sister. "You are the meanest sister in the world but I still want to marry you."

We just went through the same over here in S.F.... Had to take my girl out of school to get her passport renewed in person. We went with my little sister to Mexico last week. Mmmmm.

I don't assume that you have much time for a "Kids DO say the darndest things" contribution, but your son's comment reminded me of something Jill (then 6) said to my Mother (then 70) at Mom's retirement anniversary event. She asked innocently, "Do you think they'll be surprised to find out you are still alive?" Best wishes on single Dad-hood, sounds like there is a lot of love in your troika.

Divorce has, by far, been the most difficult emotional challenge I have ever faced. I guess that's a good thing considering war, death, poverty, and disease.
However, despite the divorce statisitcs, it has felt like there is not another soul in the world that has experienced the dissapointment I have felt. Your most recent article somewhat intensified the emotionality behind all of this; however, it also helped me to realize that divorce happens to the best of us. Thank you, and have fun with your babies!
