Kelly’s birthday (What is her full name? That’s for me to know!) was coming up, and apparently it was going to be very dirty, as she was turning 30. I decided to drive down to Blue Mesa near Gunnison, while Kristi decided to fly in to Grand Junction, where I…
Divorce 1 and 2 Discussion—You can probably skip to the 38-minute mark if you want to get straight to the real setup for the coming class, as the first discussion is much abbreviated for privacy. However, if you’d like to listen to both discussion portions, the 1st portion is about:…
