These are the thoughts and observations of me — a woman of a certain age. (Oh, my, God, I'm 65!) I'm single. I'm successful enough (independent, self supporting). I live just outside Chicago, the best city in the world. I'm an aunt and a friend. I feel that voices like mine are rather underrepresented online or in print. So here I am. If my musings resonate with you, please visit my blog again sometime.

What the he ....
How can the Gores be splitting up? To borrow from Christian Science Monitor: After lasting four decades through a deployment to Vietnam, four children, the near-death of one child, a vice presidency, a presidential election, and a Nobel Peace Prize, Al and Tipper Gore’s separation after 40 years of marriage came as a shock to Americans.
How does this happen? It makes me so sad.
For in spite of the fact that I personally am no good at love, I want everyone else to be. Al and Tipper met at a high school dance, for Christ's sake! How could they not make it work?
Oh well, at least it distracted me, at least for a moment, from fixating on BP disaster.
I was shocked when I heard this.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'm with you and Kwiz. I was shocked to see this. 40 years. Wow. I wish them both the very best. I have great respect for Al Gore.
ReplyDeleteWow, that's crazy.
ReplyDeleteI was so surprised. And sad.
