Alarming News: I like Morgan Freeberg. A lot.
American Digest: And I like this from "The Blog That Nobody Reads", because it is -- mostly -- about me. What can I say? I'm on an ego trip today. It won't last.
Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler: We were following a trackback and thinking "hmmm... this is a bloody excellent post!", and then we realized that it was just part III of, well, three...Damn. I wish I'd written those.
Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler: ...I just remembered that I found a new blog a short while ago, House of Eratosthenes, that I really like. I like his common sense approach and his curiosity when it comes to why people believe what they believe rather than just what they believe.
Brutally Honest: Morgan Freeberg is brilliant.
Dr. Melissa Clouthier: Morgan Freeberg at House of Eratosthenes (pftthats a mouthful) honors big boned women in skimpy clothing. The picture there is priceless--keep scrolling down.
Exile in Portales: Via Gerard: Morgan Freeberg, a guy with a lot to say. And he speaks The Truth...and it's fascinating stuff. Worth a read, or three. Or six.
Just Muttering: Two nice pieces at House of Eratosthenes, one about a perhaps unintended effect of the Enron mess, and one on the Gore-y environ-movie.
Mein Blogovault: Make "the Blog that No One Reads" one of your daily reads.
The Virginian: I know this post will offend some people, but the author makes some good points.
Poetic Justice: Cletus! Ah gots a laiv one fer yew...
The running joke is, we’re going to wait until twenty years after my divorce. That way, if things don’t work out, I can at least say I wasn’t an easy mark.
No, seriously it takes a very special woman to thaw out a heart frozen that solid. But this one went and did it, so we’re planning for something around Christmas. It’s all driven by when the boy can be here, and that’s the long pole in the tent as they say. He goes to school while living under the roof of his mother, some 400 miles from here. So we’ll do the dirty deed on his break. If Nevada turns out to be frozen up so badly that boy-extraction is impossible, then it could be put off ’til the spring…but that’s not likely to happen. Christmas it is.
That’ll carry us across that fateful anniversary, coming up November 3rd.
Quoting commenter Jason,
Hey Morgan, can we get a thread somewhere’s where we can offer congratulations and make empty promises of rounds of beer?
Knock yerselves out, fellas.

A year ago, I was crying in my beer about my Mikala having a heart tumor. One year later, I’m still having a beer, but I’ve long stopped crying. You’ll always know your soul mate.
Congratulations! Best Wishes! Aloha!
- Kini | 02/16/2011 @ 23:12Thanks, Kini! I was following your drama at the time. So glad everything turned out okay.
- mkfreeberg | 02/16/2011 @ 23:29Congratulations! All the best to you and the bride. 😀
- DarcsFalcon | 02/16/2011 @ 23:35Thanks, Darcs.
- mkfreeberg | 02/16/2011 @ 23:42Congradulations.
Many happy years.
Plan “B” marry her now and have a party the boy is invited too at Christmas
- Fai Mao | 02/17/2011 @ 00:17Long engagements for grown-ups are senseless. I’m with Plan B!
Congrats to you both. God give you joy!
- JoanOfArgghh | 02/17/2011 @ 05:32I was going to say “it’s about time”, but I have seen the frigid depths to which a love gone wrong can freeze a heart, and I’m happy this woman took the time and patience to wrench it from Superman’s ice cave and wrap it in a nice warm fleece blanket in front of a gentle fire to carefully bring it back from its cryogenic state. Takes a kind, patient soul to do that.
Good for you. Good for her.
So I hope the next twenty years fly for both of you in the way that time does when you’re having fun.
To infinity, and beyond! 😉
- philmon | 02/17/2011 @ 06:36Congrats, Morgan.
The boy doesn’t have the summer off? Plus, me and the rest of the nobodies already got together and decided that would be better for all of us too…
What, ya’ can’t put WonderPalin AND the ring picture up at the same time? Then you have to be coaxed into posting…? I’m not sure this whole thing is gonn’a work out, it’s already starting out bad 😉
In all seriousness, may you both find much happiness.
- tim | 02/17/2011 @ 07:35Thank you Fai Mao, Joan, Phil, small-tee.
We’re already thinking of pushing it out to perhaps a year in order to accommodate her side…she’s got some family too, and they’re three time zones away. It’s like what Joan said about grown-ups, except there are consequences to that that work in the opposite direction. Siblings/cousins/parents more far-flung, more carbon has to be emitted to get everyone together.
We could just do it this coming summer, but then The Blog That Nobody Reads will be host to A Wedding Nobody Will Attend, which wouldn’t be fair to her…you know how the chicks are, they like the attention.
- mkfreeberg | 02/17/2011 @ 07:42Very cool. Very, VERY cool. Congratulations to you and your intended, Morgan.
- bpenni | 02/17/2011 @ 10:16I’ve never regretted being married, even after she R-U-N-N-O-F-T. Congratulations, and may be the second time around be the first and last.
- chunt31854 | 02/17/2011 @ 10:46For the record, I’m my wife’s second husband. Sometimes you’re luckier the second time. Or not; she DID marry me. Six weeks of dating before I proposed and married six months later. Ten years later she still hasn’t awoken from the psychotic break that made her happy to say “yes”.
I knew what was up from the photo- I’m not borderline retarded- but was waiting until, um, now to congratulate you. So congratulations, mazel tov, or whatever celebratory statement you like. Here’s hoping that the two of you experience not only more happiness than you imagine, but more happiness than you can imagine.
Oh, and if you ever make it down my way, the offer of beer won’t be empty. Or if you make it to the GABF this year in Denver, I’ll pour you one or a dozen.
- Physics Geek | 02/17/2011 @ 11:19I’m jealous of you because I’m still in that “frozen heart” stage. i hope you guys have the marriage that sets the bar for the rest of us. And when you’re in San Diego, I’ve got the first round.
- Jason | 02/17/2011 @ 14:04Congrats and way to go! We spent almost that long (19yrs.) foolin’ around until we realized it was each other or nobody. 🙂 We went to Hawaii where you only need one witness, the fees are cheap, and there’s no relatives!
- DirtCrashr | 02/17/2011 @ 18:41Thanks Buck, Chunt, PG, Jason, Crashr.
The Hawaii idea is looking appealing, for more reasons than just one or two…hehe, think on that last word, “relatives.” Probably enough said about that.
- mkfreeberg | 02/17/2011 @ 23:52Congratulations!!!
And, like Physics Geek and Jason said, if you are down my way, the offer isn’t empty.
- AnonymousGuy | 02/18/2011 @ 01:49Congratulations boy!
May I suggest a ceremony along the lines of Gerards long ago Big Sur shindig featuring lots of hairy nekkid hippie chics. Or maybe you prefer something a bit more traditional. 🙂
- westsoundmodern | 02/18/2011 @ 08:53That’s wonderful news!!!
The rest of your life should be just fine now.
- Daphne | 02/18/2011 @ 12:00To borrow a line from the master
“May you live as long as you love, and love as long as you live”.
I pray this one is the one that works out for you.
- pdwalker | 02/18/2011 @ 20:21Mazel Tov!
We are going to need our spouses more than ever in the coming days.
Take good care of each other.
- Moshe Ben-David | 02/19/2011 @ 02:31Best of luck! You are an inspiration to ice people everywhere!
- RedCarolina | 02/21/2011 @ 06:11Congrats Duder… may she be to you what my lovely bride is to me… we’ll be hitched 30 years in June man… unbelievable what the woman has put up with…
- Rick | 02/22/2011 @ 04:06
