I am at my family’s ranch, resting after our annual Fourth of July frenzy. America’s 247th birthday was observed with great joy and enthusiasm by many loved ones, and it was a happiness. Less than a month into the reality of another divorce, I’m still shaky. My family is kind, uttering comforting platitudes (and make no mistake, that’s not an oxymoron: platitudes can and do provide real comfort). Several say how much they will miss Victoria; others suggest firmly that I embrace bachelorhood from here on. I have had five weddings, more than any relation in known history and more than almost all of you reading this. A handful of loved ones have had a perfect attendance record, and they have made clear they are not up for a sixth ceremony.
