widows and widowers are highly desirable in the older dating scene.   people that haven't been married by their 40s probably have something very wrong with them.  people that are divorced at least have enough wrong with them to have a relationship that they vowed would be for the rest of their lives end.   widows and widowers actually had people that wanted to stay with them.   that makes them a catch.  or really good at murder.  

 
I forgot to mention the part where she is from Croatia and came to the US on a four-month fellowship to work with the deceased wife.  

I think many of you are right - it's not that uncommon.  My grandfather remarried very quickly after my grandmother died, too.  Hopefully it will work out.  I'm eager to meet her - my aunt & uncle and other cousins met her this weekend and all really liked her.

like being institutionalized after too many years in prison then being released back in to society. you go back to what you know and feel most comfortable with in life :shrug:

I understand why many people feel this way but it's silly and dumb thinking.

 
4 day update?

Son and I went on a scout camping trip to Red River Gorge in eastern Kentucky this weekend.  Yesterday, we did via ferrata, which is like a safer version of rock climbing. You have to stay clipped to a cable that is attached to the rock face, and there is usually rebar to step on and hold on to, but sometimes you have to use the rock.  Here's a random video of it.

You have to first pass a training wall, and my son was almost in tears about a quarter of the way through because he was so nervous.  But he finished with encouragement from me and the guide.  Once we got up pretty high on the course I had to calm him down a few times, and I have to say I was pretty nervous myself because it was raining off and on and stuff was wet in some spots.  But it was awesome.

:heart:   This goes way beyond a mere "like this."  This is fantastic.

Very cool - NFW for me, I hate heights.

Also:  If "Chuck" doesn't stop swiveling his head repeatedly with that GoPro on his head, I will personally drive to KY punch him in his stupid face.

"Your son"...

 
After almost two weeks of absence, Lucious the black cat reappeared in the garage tonight. At first I thought he was his twin(?) brother Obi, but after closer inspection, we discovered we again have two black garage cats.

:D

You guys remember my talking about my cousin, whose 40something wife died 5-1/2 months ago of cancer?  Found out today he's engaged.

He and his wife were unusually close, having been the only serious relationship either had had, together since college days, and worked in the same university, even teaching some classes and doing some research projects/papers together.  They were as well matched as any couple I know.  He'll hear nothing from me but congratulations and the best of wishes, and I really do hope that he happened to find someone who is wonderful for him and will add to his happiness, but it's normal to be a little worried for him, right?

My take: he's probably so used to being with someone at all times, so it was natural to want him to feel that way again.  Who's to say whether or not it will last, but I can see something like this happening.

About 4 hours up the coast, but I've never been beyond Sibenik area (she does have some extended family there).  More of a work hub/jumping off point than vacation spot.  Everyone that lives apparently has a house on Krk or goes to Istria on the weekends.   

Croatia is beautiful and the food and wine is great. 

Can't wait until I'm fully retired and get to spend 5-6 months there a summer.

 
Need an audio nerd to help me with this Radiohead download.
 

It's asking me what format to use.  Might as well ask me what kind of Netflix would like to install.  I'll be doing most of my listening through my Android phone, if that helps.

What do I want here?
File sizes:320kbit MP3 120MB16-bit WAV 515MB24-bit WAV 855MB

MP3 is the smallest and most compressed so it might not sound as crisp, but 99% of people won't be able to tell the difference so that should be all you need.

 
Conversation with my wife last night while I was watching the Preds-Sharks........
