In spring of 2023, Oksana wanted a birdhouse, so I hired a local handiman to build a birdhouse in our courtyard. He did a descent job, especially considering the heat and lack of ventilation. Oksana continued to ask for him to return to make other improvements on the birdhouse. I was impressed with his perseverence in the heat...and eventually he was hired at my father's company to work in the air conditioned machine shop. He did not work under me, but unfortunately he was fired by his supervisor after three weeks for insubordination. I sent him this message:

About a month later, I left Oksana. Six months after that, Gregg started to send me strange messages:

Actually, they weren't strange messages...if you consider he and Oksana are a couple. I wish Gregg could pretend to look happy. Most importantly, Oksana looks happy. It must be the "10 inches" that he brags about giving her. That makes me laugh and shake my head at the same time.
