Divorce

I just found out someone I know is getting a divorce after 30+ years of marriage.

The wife told me. What am I supposed to say in response? I thought about sending flowers, but that seemed kind of funereal.

Drew jokingly (I assume) suggested today that he and I go to Hawaii this weekend and get married. "What would you do if I picked up the phone and called my mom screaming 'DREW PROPOSED!!!'?" He laughed and said something about being delirious and not knowing what he's saying.

I realize Hawaii doesn't allow gay marriage, but I'd take elopement to Maui over "official and legal" any day.

I wonder if that couple would have gotten married if they'd know it would end in their early 60s.

It's 4:14 and I haven't started studying yet. Grrrrr.....
