You better get on the stick. I casually mentioned going skiing next year, and she didn't say no.
Because, well, who in their right mind wouldn't want to go skiing with a bunch of people in the throes of serious R problems? But actually, I think we must be the hotties of the 30- and 40-something set; those with a little water under the bridge can appreciate the experience factor, I think (I hope).

Well, they're related, aren't they?

For a very, very long while, mostly, though we had our moments.

About that, no.

Um, very unshaven? Is there a degree of unshaven that you're interested in???

Hey, you'd fit right in! Actually it's not nearly so high-brow, though there are a surprising number of high-level physical scientists and academics among us. There's a lot of "I'm plain bored. Someone say something witty and funny." And a weirdly high number of fire-artists and Burning Man types.

Are you trying to scare me? Wow, Heim, I have no idea. I'd be shocked, first off, and very suspicious about his motives. I think I'd be very, very cautious, but my usual casual and friendly.
I don't think I'd freak out and go running toward him, if that's what you're asking.
If he actually came out and said he wanted to work on things, part of me would want to run. Fast. But to be honest, I haven't entertained the question much, since it seems so unlikely.
But if he were serious, I'd have to give it a shot. Otherwise I'd be doing the same thing I'm so disappointed in him for doing: giving up without giving it the effort we (and the kids) deserve.
