Yeah.  I didn't notice this when reading the book, but have become more aware of it over the past 1 - 2 days.  It seems that he started dating his 2nd wife before the divorce was over.

As I said, when reading the book, he sort of transitioned it by saying "his first marriage was falling apart".  Combine that with how often he's on the road, and I didn't think much of it at the time.

Now, I don't know what "dating" involved before the divorce was over.  Perhaps there were some boundaries set until the divorce was over.  Perhaps it was very casual.  But I don't know.

The only other thing I can think of, with regard to the inheritance and will, is perhaps he wanted the 2nd wife to have more possessions to help pay for the medical bills.  Maybe he figured she could sell some things, or something.

In an ideal world, I'd hope the remaining family could find a peaceful and happy resolution, and not have discord among themselves.

Ok, I just want to point out a more positive aspect of Sager. These negative developments will continue, but how about something positive for a change.

He talked about how he'd carry his first child, Kacy, to her kindergarten class. They would laugh on the way to class every day. He said he looked forward to that every school morning.

The teacher told him that she wouldn't learn her independence if he kept carrying her to class.

Sager then responded that perhaps the teacher should worry about the parents that didn't pay enough attention to their kids.

The school principal and teachers got together and discussed the issue. They then issued an apology.

I liked reading that story, because I knew with his future jobs, he'd have less time for his kids. So it was nice to see a period of time when he was more available.

I didn't know any of that.  Thanks.

Your story reminds me a little of SuperPadre from the ESPN Spurs boards.

I asked him one time why he never posted on the MLB Padre boards.  He said the steroids era turned him off of MLB.  Yet here was in 2010 and 2011, with a SN that still referred to a MLB team, even though he had long since abandoned the sport.

And here you are, on a message board named after the Pistons, even though you've abandoned the NBA.

In both of these cases, I guess it's about the message board community that keeps people coming back.

Were some of them still on Roscoe's board near the end?

1. I’m about 2/3 through Lamb by Christopher Moore. It is the Gospel according to Biff, Christ’s best childhood pal. It is LOL funny and guaranteed non-offensive to anyone. The author received no complaints.This is pretty much the consensus for Moore’s best book. I liked his Shakespeare books even more because I laughed so hard I couldn’t breathe. All this month the book is on sale for $1.99. In addition to the books mentioned I read two othersby him. One was dumb, IMO and the other was “good”. Just personal tastes but you cannot go wrong with Lamb. Funny and endearing.

2. Probably wasting my breath on this also. But book one Still Life is $1.99 TODAY ONLY. This is the mystery series I keep talking about. Violence isn’t graphic and minimal swearing (usually comical). A small town with a very funny and kooky supporting cast. Best read in order. I’ve read books 3-10 so far. After book 13 I’ll go back and read the first two. Won more Agatha Christie awards than any other author I believe. IMO she is better than Agatha, but if Christie is up your alley, you’ll love Louise Penny!

You get partial honorable mention for that one.
