Some 900 million years ago, a black hole released a terrible belch that echoed through the cosmos. On August 14, the resulting ripples in the fabric of spacetime passed through Earth—giving us the best evidence yet of a never-before-seen type of cosmic collision that could offer new insights on how the universe works.

Well, my girl friend was in declining health, so between taking care of her (a full time job in itself, sometimes) and working 50-60 hours a week, I didn't have time for much else.
She died on July 20 and I'm working less, so I suddenly have a lot more time

Dragonoake, I'm so sorry. My deepest condolences.
The first song sets the wheel in motion / The second is a song of love / The third song tells of Her devotion / The fourth cries joy from the sky above
The fifth song binds our fate to silence / and bids us live each moment well / The sixth unleashes rage and violence / The seventh song has truth to tell
The last song echoes through the ages / to ask its question all night long / And close the circle on these pages / These, the metamythos songs

Dragonoake, I'm so sorry. My deepest condolences.

Her pain is over.
She was always an active person
The main reason I have a cell phone is because she was always wandering off and that was the only way to find her; and half the time, she'd wandered of again by the time I got to wherever she'd said she was when I called  ???

In the last couple years, I've watched her go from needing a little help for balance... to a walker... to a wheel chair... to not even being able to sit up without help
She never said anything about it, but you know she was miserable; especially after the amputations started
