What's it like being 50 and single? I'm 22 i've never had someone particularly close pass away, but that being said I constantly find myself in relationships just because I need to have someone in my bed beside me after a long term relationship went bad. So don't you miss that just natural partnership, also do you have children?

Good writing even from a drunk OOTers perspective

Now that was a trip report that was such a long way from I got KK UTG and raised AI blah, blah, blah. Thank you for the story. It was touching and what makes it even more impressive was that nothing really happens and yet the writing and emotions are so real that I wanted it to keep going. Thanks

Your writing style is like the complete opposite of spaceman bryce's.

Excellent post John. Thanks for sharing your story, I don't think most people would be able to write about it as beautifully as you did, or would have the courage to try.

A beautiful post.

When I looked at your avatar, and then read the first few words...
