Nope.
I did the same thing with my ex. She had a habit of saying some incendiary stuff and then apologizing later. When we filed for divorce, I was already in AZ and she was in South Carolina. Our divorce was in Texas, where we lived when filing. She called and screamed at me, saying she was pulling the divorce papers and to get my own attorney. I paid for her attorney because it was uncontested. I told her to ask her attorney first, and if he agreed, I would file in Arizona. She called back the next day and apologized. AZ wouldn't have granted spousal support. I knew that, she didn't. I eventually blocked her to take away her ability to text a bunch of f-you's and then apologize. I should have done it sooner.

Re: Grumps can suck it, it's Friday!
I have 4500 words completed of my 5000-word (plus or minus 500 words) essay due Sunday. I still have one source to analyze and a conclusion to write, but that will put me over the 5000 threshold. I will edit it tomorrow before writing the concluding paragraphs to ensure the scope is unchanged. In my previous master's program, I figured I could write 5000 words on weekends. That was a poor decision. I wrote for 16 hours on Saturday and another 16 hours on Sunday. This time, I started the paper three weeks before it was due. I hope to submit the paper on Sunday morning.
Somehow, along my path of learning graduate-level history, I have become an expert on certain Native American tribes and regions. I teach Hualapai kids in a K-8 school; I first learned their history.

I always start with raise or arise, and today that proved to be lucky.

I managed to string together two cordial and productive conversations with my soon-to-be-ex wife. Progress.

So it goes.
I did get a win on the first word with irate last summer.
We enjoy playing against one another for a brief moment of bragging rights.

Re: Grumps can suck it, it's Friday!
Wordlebot is dumb. After guess four I'm not doing well, I have four letters in place but can see four possibilities so I use a word with three of the four to flush out the answer. Wordlebot says that was a bad guess but hey it was lucky there's only one possibility left.
I'm peeved with the whole thing, though. I got cocky the other day and wound up on the last guess with two possible words and selected the wrong one to break a 530+ day streak.

Re: Grumps can suck it, it's Friday!
While it's not Friday, this is bike-related and something that brought a smile to my face.
I really enjoyed living maybe 200 yards away from my high school, more so because I got to sleep late. But overall, having a significant number of students biking to school was a very foreign concept to me until I moved to Madison.
So here's a WaPo article on the bike-bus, a school of students shepherded by parents to ride to school (gift link). I'm gonna see if there's anything similar in the Madison-adjacent town we'll be moving to.

So you’re moving back to Madison from Milwaukee? I assume that’s better for pedaling, from what you’ve said.
Of note, my son is looking at a teaching job in WI. That’d work out well for him, as he’s a gung ho Packers fan.

Good memory!
Yessir, we are moving back to Madison (or rather suburb thereof). The transaction should close either this upcoming Friday or some time soon after. We won't move until July, but my HampCo will be in the new house full time until then, b/c the riding is so much better there anyway and I figure I can schlep other fragile articles on our trips in the mean time.
And I haven't forgotten about the Cinghiale ride. I can certainly look to help organize something in the fall after we settle down.
Best of wishes to your son!

Re: Grumps can suck it, it's Friday!
A day early, but I received good news from my college. I am nominated for a grant to help pay for my research and travel to campus this fall to present a condensed version of my thesis which I am currently writing. My previous writings have been well received and survived peer review, which is a big deal for a recovering engineer writing history papers. My current work is focused on the Iroquois Confederacy (Six Nations) and the colonists of western Pennsylvania immediately before and following the Proclamation of 1763. Again, going back six years, I never would have imagined I'd be an academic.
