This is St_Augustines_Pears, and although it's been awhile...I'm back (like a belch from a bad onion!).
Well, a lot has happened since I was last online. My wife and I are still in the process of our divorce, mostly due to the fact that she needs $500 to finalize it. I stedfastly refuse to pay one penny toward the divorce...I told her, "If you want it, you pay for it.".
I went from living in a 2-bedroom apartment to renting a $400/month room in a boardinghouse just north of Des Moines (almost in Ankeny). The good news is I don't have to pay for any utilities (cable, water, phone, electricity...even internet service!). The bad news is I have to share a kitchen and bathroom with 4 other guys!
My daughter lives with her mom in Ankeny. I get to have her every other weekend. It's been really hard on my daughter...not having Daddy around all the time. It's also confusing for her, as my soon-to-be-ex has a new boyfriend who visits a lot (sometimes overnight).
I found out about PETRA retiring by reading an article in CCM magazine. I'm now reading posts on this site and petrarocksmyworld.com to catch up on the news.
2005 has been a really horrible year...my Dad passing away due to lung cancer, my impending divorce, and now, my favorite band is calling it quits. What else can happen? (Don't answer that).
Anyway, it good to be back. My email address is [email protected]. Please keep me in your prayers.
