I guess I'm confused about where you and Julie "are."  I thought about that after I threw out the possibility of linking up somewhere over the Christmas break, even though I was guided by the fact that you had apparently started seeing other people already or a long time since, your yoga instructor. 
 
Later though I thought I might have been insensitive, and then I questioned that again from your letter today.  I guess I thought the "formalities" of the divorce were over, and that after a year of separation, both of you had also begun to separate emotionally, although I know that is not an easy road, or wouldn't be for me.  I guess you were giving me the picture of having, at least yourself, recovered. When you wrote, "good time--considering what Julie and I are going through," I got a little confused.  I also thought at one time that you said you and Julie were going to go through the Millenium together and then part.  Are you spending separate Christmas holidays?  Well:  Happy Birthday.  Isn't Anne living with Julie, or did that change? The mall walking programs have been around for a while.  The benefits are the controlled environment and the relative safety.
 
The downside, as I indicated, is the musak, and to some extent the floors, which are sort of hard--I may need to look into more cushioned shoes if I keep this up. There is a security guard on a bike, but a woman commented to me, and I agree, the walkers themselves provide "security" both to the mall and to each other--a walker comes around every few minutes or so. I am working VERY hard at not getting "bored" today and trying to count the blessing of not having a job which is constantly a crunch.  I had brought in all my computer disks sometime back, and I've been going through them some this morning, erasing things I don't need, and reformatting, etc.  I have files in several different formats, accumulated at various places.  Have to go--network going down.
