The latest notion I've heard is that Tiger Stadium may be torn down so
the land can be sold for development. There are no current specific
proposals for development, as far as I know.
I just heard about Tiger Stadium on the radio this morning, from sports
talk station WTKA (AM-1050). Detroit is currently paying the Tigers
about a half-million dollars per year to maintain Tiger Stadium. From
what I've heard, the field still looks like a ballfield (though not a
major league one). The grass is mowed, the infield is being
maintained, the outfield isn't pristine as it used to be, but it's not
bad.
Some parts of the stands are not safe any longer. If they ever opened
Tiger Stadium up for any events, as they did once for a women's
baseball game a few years ago, there'd be restrictions on where you
could sit and what parts you could go to.
The outside of the stadium looks shabby, from what I've heard from
friends. I guess it's not being painted and repaired any longer.
I'd very much like to go visit Tiger Stadium before it is torn down.

IBB there's a beautiful piece of stained glass in my office, but I can't
seem
to find a way to hang it safely in my window. Drat.

I have found my ex-wife has had her live-in boyfriend watching John,
without my knowledge (until John told me of it) for the last two days
while she was not present. I have made it explicitly clear to her
that that person is not to be with John without a responsible adult's
supervision.
After I found out he was watching John yesterday, I contacted the
Friend of the Court's office to find out what I can do about it. My
case worker is a man, and was very reasonable at listening to what I
had to say. I'd expected him to berate me because my issue is not
pressing compared to others he must hear. I was wrong; he was
respectful and helpful. There wasn't anything he could do on the
spot, of course, but he was very nice.
He advised me to write him a letter, outlining my complaints about the
violations of the mediation agreement. He will then take appropriate
action.
The boyfriend was watching John again today. I had a shouting match
with my ex-wife over it over the phone a few minutes ago. There will
certainly be no doubt that I'm opposed to that person watching my
son. I managed to also point out this was a violation of the
mediation agreement regarding "right of first refusal" (today) and an
abuse of the right of first refusal (*she* was supposed to watch John
yesterday; he explicitly was *not*).
The final straw has been loaded onto the back of the camel. There
will be no more wishful thinking, that maybe the mediation agreement
is better than the alternative, even if it's only being kept to by
me. I'm going to write the letter which was suggested to me; actually
I've mostly written it. Also, I will be calling my lawyer tomorrow to
see if there's anything she should be doing.

Jim complained to the court one summer when his ex refused to let his daughter
visit for a month. The only result of this was that a few months later they
sent her a letter telling her not to do this again.
Do you want to offer to pay for daycare somewhere at times when both parents
are working?

re resp:17: I am quite willing to pay for day care, if that's what's
needed. I am already paying more than double the FoC recommended child
support, which was supposed to be compensation to her for watching John
mroe than half the time. (It's a miniscule amount of money.) I am not
willing to pay for her boyfriend to be alone with John. I'm willing to
pay quite a lot to prevent him from being with John.
I am also willing to leave work in order to watch my son for an hour,
or an afternoon, or whatever else is needed. The mediation agreement
specifies we'll give each other the "right of first refusal", which
means she has to ask me first. But she doesn't do it.
re resp:18: Thanks!
Divorce is the most disillusioning experience I can imagine.

IBB my sprained ankle is being very s l o w in healing. I hurt it on
Memorial day and it's still bruised and tends toward swelling. It's gotten
better, but not fast enough; I have stuff to do, not the least of which is
moving. I'm moving back in with some old roommates because my current one
is moving back down south (she's finished her master's and gotten a teaching
job in Tampa) -- that'll be this weekend, and I'm STILL working on packing
that I wish had been done a week ago.
On 7/1 my benefits begin; I work in a neurology office that's adjacent to one
of the hospitals, and working for doctors means great benefits, I've
discovered. I can go have it looked at on or after that date.

I'm giddily in love, but he lives three hours away. It's not
hopeless, but it's annoying enough to make me a bit bummed.

Does John III's school have a daycare program for kids to go to before and
after school that he could attend just 2-3 days a week (your days)?
