I certainly didn't want the divorce, but she wanted the guy she's sleeping with now more than she thought it was important to keep the family together. Its as simple as that. She, of course, has her version of events and that's fine, but what it boils down to is she dumped me for someone else. 

cami bee - 2008-07-28 4:34 PM I will be having cheap pizza and good beer for dinner tonight.

do you ever worry that it's going to get back to your boss that you always leave after he leaves and not when the office closes?

You know, I have to push myself out the door to run... but I can always get on the bike and not need to hammer...

See, I think there's a big difference between cyclists and triathletes.

Cyclists ride no matter what. I think many - not all - but certainly many - triathletes would not otherwise ride a bike but its part of the event. But then again, the same thing can be said for swimming or running. Everyone has favorite and non-favorite parts.

Now see, I love to ride the drainer. I'd probably just cycle race only if I was good at it, but I'm not and I see no point in killing myself in something to finish last and be laughed at by everyone. 

Aikidoman - 2008-07-28 7:02 PM

I don't mind killing myself to finish last and be laughed at by everyone.

Cuz I finished, and that's better than everyone who didn't even try it...

If they laugh, at least I made them happy with my entertainment....

"Killing" myself also lets me lose weight, and live healthier - both are good despite race results... And my wife likes it A LOT.....

Anyway - it's going to be me, the iPod, Harry Potter book, and the trainer for a two hour date in 30 minutes.

Later

She'd better be exercising, or something. What!? Seriously? Are you just messing with us? Seriously are we going to need some sort of TAN intervention? 'Cause some of us don't live too far from you.

Spokes - 2008-07-28 7:35 PM I have a hard cover of 7 at home. The rest of the copies are with the children. IF their mother ever bothered to get them out of storage.

Sprint_DA - 2008-07-28 7:39 PM

Yeah, she rode her bike over we swam she's on the way home now. Said something about I should go out and bring her dinner. And then that I should come over later. Instead I think I'm going to call the other girl that I'm trying to meet and see when we can get together. I'm sure she (K) will call at some point and see why I didn't A. bring her dinner, and B come over to hang out. I may ask her at that point where she's intending this to go this time, because at this point I don't want to be anything more than friends. (If that).

cami bee - 2008-07-28 7:44 PM

Dude, I'm not sure if make sense for you to even be friends with this girl. Seems to me that she has some sort of passive-aggressive/manipulative thing going on. Can you honestly name things that you get out of being in a friendship with her (just curious)?

Sharkie - 2008-07-28 7:47 PM

hey... it's been good fodder for TAN.. i've enjoyed the soap opera I still want to call Sprint while she is with him and have him flirt with me over the phone...

Spokes - 2008-07-28 7:53 PM

I could give you the whole saga, but its long and boring. She's bought Davis the paperbacks and that's fine. Let's talk about something MORE positive!

Sprint_DA - 2008-07-28 7:52 PM

Which reminds me...did someone from Wisconsin, or a Wisconsin area code text message me a few minutes ago? I can see that this is going to be a fun game...I'll call it "Guess which TANer texted me" (Should there be one N in TANer or two?)
