Jeff Higgins Married Up....

[Superman]

....and so will Superman.

I had the pleasure of meeting Mrs. Higgins in person several years ago now, and was charmed to say the least. She's a doll. And on April 8 I will marry the woman who was on my arm that day. And I will feel damned lucky. My practice marriage of almost 23 years ended in 2004 and it was devastating to me. After that, my heart was not available. And yet, it has been captured now. I could write you a book about this woman but I won't. I'll just say this: I never dreamed life could be this good. So easy. So interesting, at all times. So secure. So entertaining. So real.

"She" is visiting her daughter across the state who is finishing a pre-med degree, so I am being a bachelor this weekend, doing some projects. Tonight I have to cook for myself and so, it is Chili Dog Night. And so, for those of you who don't want to talk about love, there's "chili dogs." With lots of unions.

^^^ Very nice...our lives are always a story.
Yours is a happy one.

[Jeff Higgins]

Awesome!!! Congratulations. I wish you two all of the best. And, I have to say, my initial impressions are now confirmed - this young lady's sainthood is now beyond question. It takes a very special lady to put up with guys like us. I got lucky enough to have mine find me 38 years ago. I'm so happy to hear yours found you...

What is the motivation for getting married at age 70 ?

Ok, that there is pretty funny!
Congrats, Supe.

I know what it is like to find someone perfect after a failed relationship. Took me a while too.

Cheers!

Congrats Supe! May you have many fine years and memories together!

She's marrying the bass player huh? Drummer must have already been taken.

Yup. That's how it happened. I practically went along kicking and screaming. She was relentless. And perfect. I think they are smarter than we are. Certainly in my case.

Well. You are no Jeff Higgins, not with that attitude.

Heh heh... yup, that's how it happens, at least when it works. We have no idea. We are cavemen. We think we can club 'em over the head, drag 'em home, and live happily ever after. It don't work like that. They do that to us, albeit far more subtly. We never know what hit us. They recognize "it", while we sniff around like dogs.

It's true Ms Higgins is saintly for putting up with all that yammering.

Not to mention that loud goddamned dirt bike.

[Tishabet]

Good for you man, congrats!!

[Heel n Toe]

Awesome. Nothing better than an awesome woman who "gets" you and chooses you. It's life changing.

Congratulations, Superman! At least get married a week earlier. Give us something, here.

Best
