d-day

After work this evening, a few of us gathered at the pub to celebrate our friend's divorce. The papers were signed, and everything became official today. Some people wonder whether the end of a marriage is cause for celebration. At the end of the day, I think it really is a glass half-empty/glass half-full debate. You either celebrate the end of a partnership (11 years in total, seven of them as man and wife), or you celebrate new beginnings. In this case, we raised our glasses to new beginnings and being surrounded by good friends.
