    ... "Yes, sir, Dr. Browning. That sounds just fine. I appreciate what you've just told me and I want you to know that I won't let you down here at work. You bringing me out here has changed my life for the better. In fact, you bringing me out here allowed me to meet someone who cares for me. I can't imagine life without her." We shared another hug before I left his office. On the way out, I stopped to speak with Jan. "Jan, I want you to know that my wife and I are probably headed for divorce. Can you please do me a favor?" Jan looked sad. "Of course, Frank. I'm so sorry to hear that about your marriage. What can I do?" "Jan, I need you to screen my calls coming in. Under no circumstances do I want to speak with my wife here at work. If she calls asking for me, would you please see to it that you won't put her through unless it is a family emergency." "Of course, Frank. I'll go you one better, though. Not only won't I let her through, but I'll also promise that I will let you know right away if she should happen to call." I thanked Jan and headed back to my office. It was nice to know that there were people who supported me, including those I worked with.

I am trying to greet Lucy with one sort of endearment or another when she calls. She loves it to hear me in such a good mood. "Hey, babe. I'm just getting ready to leave. What's up?" "Hi ...

I think she's anxious to get some ground rules set up." Dobby's Place was a new bar/restaurant that Lucy found. We like the atmosphere there and Megan likes it too. The name is interesting enough, though. "No problem, my sweetheart. Do you want me to meet you there?" "Yes, Frank, that would be just fine. I'll see you there. Love you, honey!" "I love you, Lucy. See you in a little bit." Fifteen minutes later I was walking in the front door of Dobby's. Lucy and Megan were in a corner booth and when I walked up to them their faces lit up. It did my heart well to see two people who loved me so much. Lucy leaned over and kissed me when I slid into her side of the booth. Not wanting to leave Megan sitting there feeling left out I took her hand and kissed it. She blushed at my show of sophistication, while Lucy just laughed. They had a pitcher of beer on the table, so I poured myself a glass. "So, my beautiful ladies," I began. "Have the two of you got everything figured out?" "Actually we do," said Lucy, with a huge smile on her face. "It will need your permission, Frank, but I suggested to Megan that she move into my house. There's plenty of room and it would mean that neither of us will have to be alone should you have to go on a business trip. Please say yes!" Megan chimed in as well. "I don't want you to think that this is me making a move on ...
