Diluted to Death

Ah well. After 24 years of marriage, 2 kids, a dozen cars, 4 houses and a roughly equal number of dogs, my wife and I have decided to call it a day and move on to other things. No great emotional turmoil, no 'scenes'--much like the marriage, come to think of it. Divorce in about 6 weeks. My daughter doesn't want to speak to me, but I hope she'll come around. I guess whatever there may have been just became excessively diluted until there was nothing left.
I don't FEEL like a bad person.

Around the World in 47 Years

Yeah, nifty. But I'm bloody sure that Holland isn't on the list.And some of the places I've been are so damn small they barely appear. YOU go find Mauritius, then.
