Will your wife be hitting perimenopause in two decades?
Probably closer to one decade, if I had to guess.

I apologize for dumping my personal issues on you guys, my internet acquaintances, some of whom I've met and some whom I haven't, at an increasing rate. It seems that in the past few years, most of my real life, local friends have either moved far away, retreated into family life, and in the case of my best friend and confidante, been shot to death. And being a bit of a social misfit and hermit whose first inclination is to spend time with family rather than mingle sociallt, real life friends and confidantes haven't been replaced so easily and readily.

So you lot have been serving as my surrogate friends and therapists. Feel free to unload on me whenever you'd like.

I think we should get a poker game together or something.

I definitely am not ragging on you for sharing, at all. Everyone needs an outlet. I'm just concerned as a person who has never met you and likely never will (unless you make a beer run to RVA sans the family).

Thanks for the concern! I'll make a point to reach out to you the next time the world allows me to be in Richmond, or if you (or any other boardies) are going to a show that I am. When we have shows again, sigh.

Beautiful player.

At this point it might be easier to identify people dying on non-COVID causes.

I'm relieved you said is and not was.
