Welp...another branch falls off my family tree. My "uncle removed" who is my father's half-brother passed away last night. I'm not really torn up as I never really considered him family as he and his first wife have some pretty bad history with mine but still, it's one less branch on my dying family tree...ugh. I wish I was 20 years younger and in better health then I am now to go on finding a wife but now...I'm just too old to be dating and don't have the patience to court anyone anymore.

It seems we have a second similarity. Not only do we share a birthday, but we now have an older-generation relative pass within a short time-span. In my case it's an aunt, the last of her generation in my clan. She went peacefully early this week, age 96. A difference between us is that she and her husband, my uncle, who lived to be 91, were some of the best people I've known. Real "salt of the earth" folk.

Although I don't see you as being too old to seek a mate should that be your desire, I stick steadfastly to my longheld tenet that "A bachelor is a man who never makes the same mistake once."

My thoughts to both of you, guys. I'm happy to still have my Gammy at a ripe young age of 100 years old. Seeing and hearing aren't what they used to be, but her darn luck in card games sure is!

As someone who found their person fairly late in life, I think that one should never say “it’s too late”. I wasn’t even looking at the time I was led to meet the person who would become Mrs. Khajiit. You just gotta be open to it, and seize the opportunity when it arrives.

That being said, as a couple we have gone over the pros and cons of having children. We determined that, between our personal issues (my age, our finances, etc.), and the myriad issues beyond our control that seem to be sending the world careening towards a dark future, having children would be somewhat irresponsible. If it happens, so be it, but it would be an act of God and we don’t intend on making it easy for him.

Sa'urday, innit?

Howdy. I'm tired. Might nap, got a bit of a headache. Gonna get dinner with my aunt and uncle later today.

Howdy!


Is it true than when you enter Texas you are instantly issued a revolver?

Lol I wish. My friend has a cute little .380 he keeps for home defense though.

Sounded like an insult to the gun; a cute little .380


I just like that you are legally allowed to defend your home in Texas. Here we are only illegally allowed to do that

Also; Bioshock 2 for three hours straight last night

You still have to be careful. If the authorities decide that while defending your home you went a little above and beyond, you may get charged with a crime.

I'm at the airport getting ready to head back to Phoenix. Fekin cold here. Was just below freezing when we woke up.

Picture of surroundings?

Didn't get any did get pic of shiny car tho.

I'm in Phoenix waiting on my friend, she's late due to crappy traffic near a renn faire.
