The village idiot of Las Vegas and his ex-wife..Round 2?

It was August of 2001 when I first met my ex-wife. In some ways, it seems like yesterday. At the time, I was real estate broker. She came into the office wanting some information about how my services worked. Well, I ended up listing her house, and it sold within a week. Back then, my golden rule? Don't mix business with pleasure. The minute her sale closed? I asked her out. Fast forward another 6 years, and that nice lady who walked into my office was now my wife. Unfortunately, if you fast forward another year and a half past that, she was now my ex-wife. The reason we split? We grew apart. What can I say? It happens. I'm going to make an assumption about something. Most people reading this blog? Well, they have their own love found/love lost story. Mine sounds pretty much run-of-the-mill? Now, here's where things start to get interesting. Could there be an 'Act 2' on the way for the ex and I?

"What's going on, how is Pepper? Have you heard anything new about a job in Las Vegas?" Every week I call the ex to play catch-up. She moved back to Kansas after we split, but is planning on moving back to Las Vegas once she finds a job. She told me this."Same stuff, Pepper is good. I've got a couple messages into my old boss about a job, still haven't heard anything." The last six months, we've been discussing a reconciliation of sorts. Pepper is her toy poodle, I refer to her as my step-dog. She used to work in the Hospice business in Las Vegas, and did quite well. We both agree, the main obstacle for her finding employment in Las Vegas is simple (Out of site, out of mind). If she was living in Las Vegas? Her finding a good job would be easy. Anyways, I told her about some of the things I was working on..etc..etc..As we were about to end the conversation, she told me this:

"Remember, I'm moving back to Las Vegas because I miss it. I miss you some, but it's Las Vegas and the atmosphere that I miss most. When I come back out there, the two of us could be boyfriend and girlfriend for a while. Don't think for a second that we're going to get re-married or anything like that. Besides, the two of us were a lot better off when we weren't married." I've always admired the candor my ex posseses. My response to her statement? "Yes Mamm!"
