Thanks, Dan. Good advice. I need to get out and start being around people again, people who aren't my students! Hope to attend a meetup soon.

Hi, Dan, I'd love to learn to shag! I also found DivorceCare to be a wonderful support group and agree that dating right now would be very unhealthy, but learning to shag would be fun and good exercise! I've been married 32 years, separated 7 months and am a young 57 :-)) If you haven't already found someone to join you, send me a note at my e-mail address [masked].
