10:30pm....that would be almost impossible for me. If I went to bed that early, I'd end up staying awake all night, anyway. Unless I was sick, of course. I normally don't get to bed until midnight - 1am.

I joined the local Family History Society and Anne has been on the committee with me for most of the time. About 8 years now I think.

I joined the local Historical Society and Anne has sat in on more of their meetings than I have.

I joined a local political group and I get reminded that 'the meeting is on tonight, are you ready' because Anne likes to go as much as I do.

Eventually found the local Astronomical Society and said I was going to the next meeting. I could hear the sigh in the background and I immediately thought it meant 'here we go again'. But it wasn't a sigh. It turned out that it was more of an 'Oooh'. After the first meeting I said I wanted to join and got told to make it a family membership. Anne has never missed a meeting or a viewing night with me.

As far as buying equipment, the discussion is usually, 'have the bills been paid?'. 'Yes'. 'Ok then'.

Jealous much?

You haven't been dabbling in cloning by any chance Trevor?

Unfortunately, yes David. I have the divorce papers she's given me on my desk ready to sign. It's the very, very last thing I want to do.

I'm keeping myself incredibly busy (including putting together this IIS compendium) so that I don't go start raving mad. Dad died at the beginning of this year too - so this is the classic "annus horribilis" for me. I want 2009 gone... these events are some that I don't talk about with many. I consider you bunch my friends, so here I weep.

Flip side - I'm going to have me a ball. I've worked very hard, so when I sell the house I'm going to buy myself a fricking expensive car, have a fricking expensive holiday and then build a fricking expensive observatory in Cooma. Stuff it! LOL! My time now.

Cheers Claude. It's not a year I'd care to repeat.

PCH (Paul) · #49 02-09-2009, 07:19 PM

Chris,

a horrible time indeed by the sounds. But FWIW you can never tell what's round the corner. I wish you well, and my advice would be that EVERY cloud has a silver lining - though you may not see it yet.

Sorry - didn't mean to HJ the thread

jjjnettie (Jeanette) · #50 02-09-2009, 07:20 PM

Onya Chris.
Let us know when to come down for the Observatory Grand Opening.

Octane (Humayun) · #51 02-09-2009, 07:26 PM

Chris,

:hugs:

Chin up.

Regards,
Humayun

Gallifreyboy · #52 02-09-2009, 07:28 PM

Chris, the offer to have a drive of my yellow vehicle in Perth remains. A lot of people you will never meet appreciate the work you have put in with the compendium and contributions to the forums on IIS.

Peter

Full moon does have it's advantages. Tee hee, they don't even realise we can't do anything too productive during this cycle. We'll just keep that little secret to ourselves eh.
But I'll be disappointing him next week. I'll be at a friends Obs for Tuesday afternoon/evening, then after that I'll be pretty full on making a start on my newest project. Then I'm away at Barambah in 2 weeks for 3 nights. But I'll take one or both kids with me so he gets a break too.

Omaroo (Chris Malikoff) · #54 02-09-2009, 07:37 PM

Thanks guys - I appreciate the thoughts. As I said, this all happened in February, and I don't talk about it. You're the first. I don't, as a rule, air my issues with people, but this thread begged for a true story that may have been the result of obsessive behaviour on my part. I eat, sleep and breath this wonderful hobby - so you guys who are married, consider yourselves on notice. Treat you wife to your time. Nothing is more precious. I suspect that I may not have, hence all this.

Peter - thanks, and same for your offer to drive the Maserati. As I said, I'll run in the XK (or XF - don't know which yet) with a good drive to Perth - and we'l compare notes!

I am sorry to hear about that Chris, I hope that things really do work out for you through this time.
