After four years of separation, my wife and I finally divorced amicably.
I wanted to date again, but I had no idea of how to start, so I decided to look in the personals column of the local newspaper.
After reading through all the listings, I circled three that seemed possible in terms of age and interest, but I put off calling them.
Two days later, there was a message on my answering machine from my ex-wife.
“I came over to your house to borrow some tools today and saw the ads you circled in the paper. Don’t call the one in the second column. It’s me.”
