Hi Dick. It's nice to meet you. Thanks for reading this piece. I loved reading the description of your marriage. It's exactly the way I've always thought a marriage should be. I'm so sorry for your loss, and can empathize with the strange journey of trying to start over again with someone new. Where are you in Arizona? I'm in Albuquerque. I moved here three years ago, not long before the pandemic, which has made it a bit harder to meet people. I've adopted two rescue dogs, and I spend most of my non-writing time exploring deserts and hoodoos and the mountains when I can get there. I took a look at a few of your other pieces as well. You're a fine writer. Take care, and enjoy the holidays with your family.
