Cathy and I sell the house and I see her for the last time.
I get my nipple pierced.

Cold Princess
Cold Princess -
Rescued one thousand times
Presented with one thousand tongues of fire
One thousand dreams burned for your incense
One thousand dragon’s eggs returned at your whim
And yet you did not melt
I will not learn to be your cold fire,
Keeping a thousand year vigil
No, I will meander a path celestial
And take a star as my lover
The whisper of our fingertips will ignite the oceans
For the span of a single breath
And then we will fall as Lucifer
Consumed, a rain of ashes and stardust
Kings will heap pity on us
The Cold Princess will not look at us
The tide will steal our names
And only the sorrow-laden poets will remember us
But oh, we will burn!
It’s over
Cathy leaves me.
I buy an SUV, a black 1998 Isuzu Rodeo.
I move to an apartment (3320 Wyoming NE, Apt 4307, 87111) and begin dealing with the divorce.
The beginning of the end
Cathy and I have a huge falling out at the Attorney Locate company Christmas party.
Our House
Cathy and I move into our house at 11514 Snowheights NE, 87112.
At some point we started attending Del Norte Baptist Church. We’re not Baptist, but we like the people and I feel a special connection to the pastor, Alan Hawkins.
Back to ABQ
Cathy and I move to Albuquerque, New Mexico and stay with friends until we move into our apartment at Pinnacle View at the corner of Montgomery and Pennsylvania.

Cathy and I had our public wedding in Crown Point, Indiana.
