John and Piece-it-Pete; I appreciate your sympathy on my late girlfriend. It is now 3 l/2 years since she is gone. When you loose that somebody you fell in love with, after a period of time, you look at the pictures and begin to say; did it all really happen? Worse then pictures are home videos made in stereo yet with rather good audio quality. It literally sounds like time has been frozen on those tapes. I use to be a great advocate of documentation of ones lives; now I am not too sure that is all so good.

John; so your girlfriend went to Florida. I live in Margate, Fl. On an internet map, the coordinates of N.W. 76th ave and Margate Blvd will show where I live. She had some cold weather to hit here. When the 50s and 60s are your temperatures after you lived here awhile, it is cold. It is going to first start to warm up today. I think it is a good idea for you to go to Vegas to see your family. I understand Vegas is up and coming so your future move may be a good one. By the way, I am orginally from the Bronx and Queens Village, New York. On a map, the coordinates were 229th street and Hillside Ave.

These days, thirty is not old. There were periods of years that I did not go out yet at the age of 38 it took me less than one minute to fall in love with my gal of 14 years. So I come from the school who sees that IF IT IS MEANT TO BE, IT IS MEANT TO BE. Even if you meet and marry somebody down the road, you may be the one listening to the home theater alone in your house. Your wife may carry on different interests. That went on with me and my girlfriend. One thing I did do was spend quality time with her when I was not doodling with the HT. She admired me for what I did in the HT arena and I admired her in her own spheres of influence. Currently, you seem to have a casual relationship with this girl. If you are moving out west, that relationship may end. If you think it is going to end, then I would start thinking about what social avenues to take when you are out in Vegas particulaly in the areas of Vegas that are going to be with permanent settlers and not out of town tourists that hit the hotels. If I come up with anything in my resistor-capacitor related mind dealing with Vegas, I notify you thru private message. KELSCI
