It's been a really tough year, financially (not just for me, of course) -- but some of that is exacerbated by the "legacy" of the divorce settlement.

She got the house (better for my sons, though), I got my intellectual property back (I write books), though the former has held its value, as it were, better than the latter. Thusfar, at least.

Her car salesman is there, a weird kind of furtive presence (at least when I'm around to pick up the boys), but the Ex is generally easier to get along with.

Still, every time I see him in that house (which I loved, along with the neighborhood), I feel the same way I do seeing Republican elected officials: Don't assholes ever feel the pinch of karma?
