Thanks you guys. Y'all are great.

When you have a chance, listen to Boyz II Men's "I'm Doing Just Fine" off their II CD. It goes--"I'm doing just fine...getting along very well without you in my life...I don't need you in my life..." That song rocks!
I got a phone call from Brady yesterday letting me know that he's in San Francisco and he's okay. I didn't get to talk to him since I was at work, so he left a message. Personally, I think he called at that time on purpose because he knew I wasn't going to be available. But at least he's where he is now...and that he's doing okay.
I keep in contact with his mom (who lives in Belgium) regularly. She's a great woman, and I really want to keep in touch with her. I'm glad that I can still remain friends with her!
*The book's finally closed, folx!*
Y'all are so sweet!
