Good and sad news
I'm a little bit early with this, but Happy Birthday to bucktowntiger !
The dating service called yesterday with two new matches for me. I arranged to meet the first one tomorrow at 11 AM. After hanging up, I realized I have a Toastmasters meeting at noon. I'll call the members and let them know just in case I end up missing the meeting.
EDIT: My date called around 8:45 AM to ask if she could postpone our meeting. She said she forgot about another meeting she had planned weeks before.
I received some sad news earlier today. One of the people I met on previous singles cruises died this week. I was told he became ill on a New Year's Eve cruise and was airlifted to a hospital, where he died a few days later. This person went on several cruises each year. He was lots of fun to be around and always made everyone feel welcome. He was the perfect example of forgetting your troubles and leaving the drama behind when going on a vacation. I hoisted a drink tonight in his memory. I only hope I can be as carefree as he was when I get to be his age (63.)
