My youngest brother, Jed (not his given name, but it is his real name cause we made it up for him when Jed Clampett was popular – and that’s what siblings do, make up names for each other — mine was Bird, in case you wondered) sent me a very excited email this morning.

I am divorced !!!!!! Everything worked out GREAT !!!!

I’m happy for him.  It’s been a long haul to get this far, and there were many factors involved that should have left their noses in their own business.  But, it’s done.  And he can move on with his life, with his new love.

p.s. My hands ARE better — but, I still can’t get my wedding ring off.
