haven't been around much -- I've been sick and busy -- but I have tried to keep up with my reading. Life is agonizing isn't it?  And that's the good part. Interesting that technology allows us to reclaim relationships that are better off dead.  I google old flames periodically, but I've managed to avoid contacting any of them. My high school boyfriend, though, caught me through my one-week free visit to classmates.com and begged me for a picture.  After telling me about his divorce. Think I'll continue to avoid contact.
