LOL. I'm picturing your little buddy, the homunculus, as a kind of poltergeist. I will keep an eye open for his appearance. I wonder if I will find him sitting on my shoulder like an angel or hovering over me like Tinkerbell.

Regarding my divorce, since I've spoken about it before, and you might find it amusing, you couldn't imagine a more cordial transaction. He proposed that he devise an appropriate split of our assets and that I do the same for our possessions, which we each did, and which we each accepted with only the most minor change. I was supposed to go to the Dominican Republic equipped with his power of attorney for a weekend to get the divorce but I had to work so he went. And that was that.

The breakup was my idea--I recognized that I had married too young--so I could hardly carry a grudge. I pretty quickly realized that my initial feelings of wanting retribution for his having not lived up to my expectations was pretty stupid and pretty childish. Perhaps having to look at myself in the mirror and seeing someone stupid and childish is my "highly-motivated self interest." It usually works well enough.

In the interest of full disclosure, I acknowledge that I do smile when I see people get what they have coming to them.
