Sad Changes

I’m only writing this entry because I said I would, if this ever happened.
In professional Magic, there used to be an infraction called “Failure to agree upon reality.”  If you called a judge over and neither player could agree upon the sequence of events that happened earlier in that turn, then you’d both get a penalty.  Unfortunately, my long-time girlfriend Bec and I could not agree upon what the problems were at the core of our relationship, and after much consideration I finally broke it off with her last night.
Bec remains smart, sexy, kind, and a stunning conversationalist.  I believe in breakups where nobody’s at fault except two personalities that can’t quite connect, and sadly, this is one of them.  The only reason I mention this is that I promised I’d make an announcement if one of the “Big Three” in my life changed, which it has, and so I make a brief note.
I’m going to try to close comments on this entry, but if I don’t, I’d still appreciate you not commenting.  The thing I really do dislike about being a semi-public figure is that I inadvertently drag people on stage with me at times, and this is painful enough without anyone involved having to endure public debate and/or speculation.
