Dave,
1.5 years ago my wife and I got divorced after 32 years. For the first time in my life, I was alone.
The first 12 months were tough. I loved my wife and I depended on her. I am learning to care for myself and I can't ask anyone WHY I only have ONE sock!
Confidence builds, slowly.
Be honest with people about your marital status. That way you are not hiding anything and it will lead to good relationships.
Being married or divorced is no different, because were STILL living and were still travelling down the path of life.
I am happy that I do think mostly of good memories.
Exercise has been very important to keeping me centered.
Don't worry about yesterday or tomorrow, just take ONE day at a time.
Having your heart broken is very stressful.
Family members were waiting to see if I would FAIL being single. I'm NOT failing because I have a fighter's spirit from my Mother.
It's real cool to sit on the couch in my underwear and watch the football game, without someone being offended.
Hang In There!
Doug P.S. Welcome to the best side of the U.S.!

Dave,
You're living way too close to the Idaho Fish-In not to go. Hope to see you there.

Dave, ...

You DO realize that they don't check your guns at the city limits anymore, ... The local Warden MAY want you to hand over the 10 wt rods though.

Hang in there, I've been there, and came back to tell about it

Sounds just like one of John Gierach's books! Good Luck Dave!

I read your article, it made quite an impact on me. Sure do hope that all goes as well for you in MT as you want it to.

I suppose that we'll be seeing a different title to your articles now that you are no longer a "pirate" in practice (although always a pirate at heart I'm sure!)

Looking forward to hearing more from you soon.

Best

Robin

Life is like a great mystery novel, you never know what the next chapter has in store for you.

The adjustments after a divorse don't come easy and looking in the mirrow reflects rejections of the past. Time will pass and you will be back in circulation and the happy confident look in the mirror will reflect the new you.

Life is what you make it, enjoy it and accept the challenges that occur.

My best wishes for great success on your new journey and adventure in your new environment.

Just an old geezer

Welcome to Montana,Dave.
You're in one of the best places on earth.
I hope you enjoy your stay here as much as I have.
Better warm that casting arm up.

So Dave,
What do you say. Please consider this as your "Official Invitation" to the Idaho Fish-In. I for one would love to meet you. Can we count on you being there? No pressure! No arm twisting! Just lots of folks having fun together. I'll even bring some flies for you to use.

Hey Dave, nice VW Bus. I had a 69 Wesphalia van, I wish I still had it. Not much on the hills or mountains, you get use to being passed in a bus. Around the next bend may just well be your shining star. Been, there, done it. As the Grateful Dead were fond of saying in their song "Touch of Gray" I will get by, I wil survive" keep on truck'n man! Oh yeah, I almost forgot, the books I purchased from you are keeping me sane. Thanks! Jonezee
