Life without kids

Friday night D and I went out to see the Mark Zuckerberg flick. I though it was pretty good.  I especially enjoyed posting "I am at the Facebook movie facebooking about being at the Facebook move".   Yesterday we closed up my in-laws camp then went to the fair to watch the huss pullin'.  Call me lame, but I enjoy watching men and woman compete in such pure and ancient sport.  This morning we hung out in bed for a bit watching Under the Tuscan Sun.  It reminded me that it is easy to forget where you are, when your focused  on where your going. D and I have been spending a lot of time together since B went off to college.

I have been finding and talking with old friends via social networking sites like FB and Linkedin.  It has been eye-opening to learn how my old friends have done over time; many I have not seen for thirty years or more.  Most are divorced and many have not had good luck career-wise.  When I compare my life against theirs, I feel incredibly fortunate.  Marrying D was the single best thing I have ever done in my life.  I can't imagine what my life would be like without her, though I suspect I would have more in common with my old friends.
