Wow, Tyler Hilinski, the WSU QB, who played the Holiday Bowl, dead of an apparent self inflicted gunshot wound.

Terrible news.
Sad news indeed.

Oh, and I guess I'll mention the wife and I split about 7 months ago. We still live only like 7 miles apart and have been for the most part amicable so it hasn't been too tough on the kids thankfully. It's not ideal but it could be worse.
That's a bummer Frog Face. I'm really sorry to hear that. Having been through it.. well, it's not ideal from what I remember.

I've been to Chinle. Canyon De Chelly was pretty cool, with all the ancient ruins. 

It was the first time that I ever ate at an A&W, which was about the only eatery in town iirc.

i'm sorry to hear this too... loss of a dream sucks.
funny, i guess:  when i finally broke it off with the first, i was incredibly sad about the break only because of proving to the world i'd made a mistake and having to own up to it- the dream lost was the only source of pain and indignity.... but honestly, this was my experience:
a few days after, i wake up on a Saturday morning flat out anxious to the point of almost panic trying to figure out what i had forgotten to do.. it had to be something, and the way my conscious was beating on me it had to be something BIG i was forgetting about or late on or whatever it was...... so i forced myself to settle down, have a cup of coffee and fire up a cigar (which is something i never would have done with her around that time of day- a cigar usually invites a transcendental-meditative state for me)... five minutes into that, i realized exactly what my problem was...
i wasn't forgetting a thing...  i was instead at peace- a state i had been holy evacuated from since almost the moment i said 'i do'... it was so friggin' alien it must have freaked me out... from that second on, only a few days after making the decision and then bouncing- i knew i'd made the right one and i never looked back even for a second.
your children, though.... that makes yours helluva lot more difficult than mine was.  i didn't have children then.

Yeah, when I finally broke it off, it was amazing the sense of peace I had. I mean, there was the stress of knowing I had to go through all the legal crap, and had to sell the house, and move, and figure out a custody schedule with the kids, and would be paying alimony/child support [which sucks], and all that crap. But I knew deep down that I was making the right decision and that the old joke was right. "Why is divorce so expensive? Because it's worth it!"
Children makes it a lot harder. If I had my way, I'd never EVER interact with my ex again for the rest of my life. But I can't do that. Still, worth it.

 fire up a cigar (which is something i never would have done with her around that time of day- a cigar usually invites a transcendental-meditative state for me)
why a cigar on the back nine is perfect for my golf game
and yes, plenty of guilt associated with having children with divorce.  I still feel some of that guilt, even though my daughters are 21 and 23 and have told me repeatedly that things have worked out for the better
it's better than 10 years ago.  Time does heal some wounds.

and ed zachery, now that the kids are grown I hardly ever hear from the EX, but I still avoid it at all costs

It is my understanding that the alimony checks are a lot less painful if you write the word "Freedom" on the memo line.

I am looking forward to next season, this off-season, and hope to attend FSU @ Notre Dame with some of my old classmates, if they are willing to travel. And if not, I am going anyway.

Actually, I have copied and used the dumb things people write on alimony checks in alimony modification cases.
Freedom would be one of the least problematic things I have seen. Just be careful what you write.

didn't pay alimony

just child support

money well spent, easy check to write

even if the kids stayed with me almost all the time and even if the kids didn't benefit from hardly any of the dollars

it's only money, you can always get more

and the checks I wrote weren't a tenth of what it would have cost me to stay married
