Dating Site Guy is MIA. Ever since his health scare, it's been harder and harder to have conversations. I know he is very busy at work still, and it's something we talked about. But I think he's suddenly facing the dilemma of having started something he can't focus on right now. I think he's rushing and pushing himself to get things done before the summer, when his son is supposed to be up here.
I last heard from him last Wednesday (this is Monday). I sent him another text on Thursday...and another Saturday. I specifically asked what the health concern had turned out to be. Nothing. I think I need to just sit back a while and let him come to me...
Hopefully, this one won't forget me. Sigh.

Leonard Nimoy
They say he died at 8:40 am. That would be 11:40 am here. I found out around noon. That's today's technology.
I was a wreck that day. I had to work. I had to put on a work face and smile and reply to "how are you?" with things like "Okay" and "alright". It was a lie. Every time I carded someone and they had his birthday...every break when I got on FB...the ache in my chest began again, and the tears would well up.
Leonard Nimoy was a grandfather to the world. Everyone in the geek community knew him and loved him, whether they'd met him or not. I was lucky enough to meet him more than once. I grieved as best as I could and began mourning. I re-read old con reports and looked at photos I'd forgotten. And I came across something startling. In April 2004, the following took place during Leonard's talk.
As hard as it is to lose Leonard, it is worth noting that we can never lose Spock. As a fictional character, he will live on, forever. I take a huge amount of comfort in that.
