Here’s some philosophy for you. Every beginning has an end and every end has a beginning, and because everything is connected, every end is the beginning of something else. In my case, I wouldn’t have gone over to Larry’s house that day and read his journal and heard the thump in the basement if it hadn’t been for the end of my marriage, so I guess the death of said marriage was the last incident in one chain of events that would become the first incident in another. What I’m worried about is that this new chain of events might turn out to be the beginning of the end, period.

I can tell you the exact moment my marriage was officially over. My wife had called me from the Food Circus parking lot. She wanted me to kick some guy’s ass because her called her a whore after they got into a shouting match over a parking space.
