I am listening to him now. Ramona Bell just passed away suddenly in January of this year. I don't think Art is thinking straight.
My late wife died just over 5 years ago. I did try to jump back into the dating scene within about 6 months, but had to back off. It was too soon for me. I could not tell if I would be falling in love with the woman I was with or just trying to fill a huge void in my life and that would not be fair to the woman.
Im just getting to the point where I am thinking of getting serious again, but I too would be accused of robbing the cradle.
It was nice of him to mourn Ramona's passing for a full three months.
