Oh my goodness, I had no idea my fellow San Antonian was in such a bad way. I didn’t really notice your increased crankiness, probably because in the current climate, I’ve turned into a snarky bitch myself. Take it easy-- fill up on tamales and bunuelos go down to look at the lights on the Riverwalk. Something I heard in school, _“The truth shall set ye free, but first it shall make ye miserable.”_ I’m so sorry you’re hurting and wish you all the very best. Come back soon!

Court date for divorce is scheduled for 8:15am tomorrow. Because, of course.

Man… that’d be way too early for me! I would reconcile instead of getting up at that ungodly hour.

Good luck, JohnT. You’re a better man than I am. I am growing increasingly irritable as well, but I’ll be damned if I’m not gonna take it out on these … good, fine message board people. And a Christmas Eve divorce? How’d you manage that? There must have been competition for the slot. The time space, I mean. In the court schedule.

Take a good book. You’ll probably be there until at least 4:00 p.m. Because, of course.

And hang in there.

In Spanish, Christmas Eve is called _nochebuena_, the Good Night.

May it apply to the upcoming night, for you.

I’m sorry you had to go through that. I’m glad you’re still posting a bit. May your joys outweigh your sorrows from this point on.

Do you have plans for the holidays?

Just wanted to say that from my POV you’re a valued poster, **JohnT**. A little bit over the top sometimes, but who of us isn’t? (Whoever feels he/she isn’t, let them cast the first stone, as the saying goes.) I hope things go well for you and hope to hear from you soon. Maybe just drop in once in a while, OK?

Best of luck with the divorce. I’m going thru my own trials and tribulations on that front and can empathize. Trust it will turn out the best it can for you and your family. Hang in there and when come back, bring pie…
