Lone wolf has its own set of problems.

but my heart will be secure.

Just like Davy Jones's.

There's a phrase in a song that goes "It's not the love you have, but the love you have to give." Even if you aren't in a relationship, you can still invest yourself into others' lives. And you will be much happier for doing so.

Something I started doing that might be right down your ally is volunteering for a computer refurbishing charity here in Durham. They refurbish computers for underprivileged kids who have demonstrated an aptitude in school but have no means to get one. I'll bet there is something similar wherever you end up living. Highly recommended.

I would love to do that......

I am trying to be more social with friends here.....and will be playing "scrabble and Scotch" tonight at a friends house now that i am over Wall Punching mode. I know its early days......but i do think it will be a long time before i open my heart to someone the way i did her. I feel like the Franklin after the kamakaze hit and the battle against the fires.....they saved the ship but it was a floating wreck.

Speaking of a Midwest summit, anybody interested in "Beer,bombers and beef?".[&:] With luck , we can coordinate it with the Offutt AFB or Linclon airshows. This year will feature the Doolittle raiders meeting. And of course there's always the SAC museum.[:)]

Of course I'm interested. [8D]

*Waves a hand* [;)]. Then, if I would have any chance of coming over, it would have to be sometime from the beginning of July to mid-August which is the period where I can use my vacation weeks.

I am serious. I just checked, just to know, roughly what an airplane ticket Stockholm - Omaha - Stockholm would cost. Answer was no more than ~$1500. Not too expensive IMO.

There is though, still a (detailed) plan to be made for when we can take out our summer vacation weeks. Not sure when we are going to do that. Have to ask my boss. Before I know that, I can't truly commit. But I'm very tempted [:D]

You aren't allowed to visit the States without coming to North Carolina. [:-]

There's no rush to get a new relationship. In fact, it would almost certainly be grossly unfair to anyone you attempted it with. You need time to heal, rejuvenate, settle yourself down somewhere, and get a support network in place.

Just don't go into "closet" mode....be social. Get your mind off your troubles and think about other people. Immensely healing and beneficial.

Yeah! Sure we could make that time frame work. All I need is a couple months notice. Fair warning-I *do* have some obligations in St. Louis July 16-19, inclusive (annual conference). Wouldn't it be cool to work that in on the frontside / backside of the conference?

Uhm, I can already see my schedule starting to get quite filled up. [:'(]

I have a friend in San Antonio (that I served together with in Kosovo) who have also been pestering [;)] me some years about coming to visit him again.

We will see. [:)]

So solly, Martian. You're definitely in a 'flyover' state for this one! [:'(]

[Chickenboy]

Well, now that that's out of the way (and I'm on the mend from my respiratory bug / fever), I could use a turn... [:'(]

Alan Rickman, one of the all time best villains. It looks odd seeing Willis w/ hair tho.

I'm not overly biased but Texas is a superior state and, in fact, would make a fine nation.

[Nikademus]

I will be putting that to the test soon.


hopefully there will be cute single goth cowgirls aplenty.

OT, Steve... is there a "belle" view in Nebraska? 

Not right now, all of the "view" is covered by snow and parkas. [:D]

(80 degrees and sunny here today) [:'(]

[anarchyintheuk]

Don't know if that goth thing ever took off down here. It might be more prevelant around the wilds of Austin tho. [;)]

Yeah, and a heckava lot of work, but worth it![:)]

I envy it. I'm thinking i will be a lone wolf for the rest of my life. I have already been so most of it....apart from the last eight years of course.

After I divorced my cheating ex-hag, I thought exactly the same thing, Nik. I was not even looking to meet anyone, when I found my diamond in a group of mutual friends, watching the ACC Basketball Tournament at a sports bar. [:D]
