A few times they've showed Sagan's Cosmos series on TV. It looks so old fashioned now. I wish he was still around. I haven't seen "Contact" but I'm sure it was good. Remember impersonators doing Sagan's "billions and billions" ha ha ha
I liked Carl Sagan too. In the 80's when my son was at Cornell University, Carl Sagan taught there. I excitedly asked my son if he saw him and he nonchalantly said "naw he's on the other side of the campus"
I'm near-sighted and I wore contacts all the time in New Jersey. Down here my allergies bother me so much I've basically given up putting them in. When I did wear them, of course I couldn't see close up any more and I needed glasses to read. Seems like you just can't get away from glasses. When you correct for near-sightedness you can't read and when you correct for far-sightedness you can't see that stop sign coming up LOL I don't like the two different lens either so I just pop my glasses on.
They always say try the church route to meet someone but what you are saying is so true. Seems we are the fifth wheel when we are at other festivities too. I can see how a person would just settle for being with someone. It is hard to realize what we may have with someone is not working and the alternative is to go back out there . . . . alone. Still, if it must be done, it must be done.
Death . . . sudden/expected is never easy. Sometimes I just want to grab everyone, hold them tight and shield them from the inevitable. But alas, I can't, no one can. Sending healing thoughts your way.
I wish there was a convenient greyhound bus around here. I love bus trips. I wouldn't mind taking one coast to coast LOL A lot of my clubs do day bus trips and a very few overnighters.
My son was 41 and my daughter 33 when their father passed away. As I said before, I had custody but he had visitation rights. I never questioned or asked anything about their visits with their father. I never believed he would do anything like turning the kids against me. Even my mother when I said he might be doing that she said "Oh don't bring him into it". So even she thought all the problems were only mine. Well one day she got a call from my ex ranting and raving about the chores I had given to my daughter. He told her that my son didn't do anything around the house and she didn't have to either. Mom called me and said, "You know, I think you were right."
