Well,--humm--I would imagine if Julie knows or finds out your yoga instructor is coming over alone for dinner--well--I would think she might get hurt (?) although that might be too strong, and/or might be either attracted back or pushed further away.  I know you didn't ask for that comment, but, based on what you've said, I've assumed you wanted to do everything possible to have her return.  I'm sorry to hear that its down-turned.  Most of your notes have indicated a continued frequent togetherness.  I've lost track of the time--it seems it is approaching almost a year since she moved out.  I never grill out per se, but the few times I do burgers or steaks, and more rarely bacon, I light up my small Coleman and cook on the porch.  That's because I don't want the grease and/or smell in my apartment.  I envy you getting to travel with your job. 
 
I go stir crazy, I think.  I feel as if I never get out of this town, the library, the law school, my apartment.  Right now I'm "down" about my options.  I didn't want to continue library work--although a J.D. and the M.L.S. puts me in very good stead for a variety of jobs.  I actually saw a very good job in Oregon that would involve library and teaching some legal research courses.  I think D.C. is one of the areas that might accept my degree, BUT all their websites wouldn't come up--not for government jobs, but just to work in D.C. (what else is there though I wonder).  I'm determined to finish five years here at Baptist, which gives me a small pension--very small.  If you decide you and Julie are not going to resume, let's have coffee some time (I know-- you only drink tea).  Elizabeth
