I find this disgusting. Art:
- Married someone 40 years younger
- Married someone less than five months after his wife died
- Married someone after less than five months of courtship
- Married someone from a different culture and country
Do we really need to call Dr. Laura to find out whether this relationship is acceptable -- let alone marriage? Puh-leaze. Art disgusts me.
My educated guess at reality: Art's ham buddy knew he had a thing for Asian girls and hooked him up with a poor 21-year-old from the Philippines. I can't believe Art's foolish enough to think it was a sign from Ramona. Perhaps he suspects the truth, but is so entranced by young flesh that he is blissfully ignoring the obvious.
I like Art and hope he stays healthy. But I find this disturbing too. I had a uncle who's wife died and he married the first woman he found a few months latter. Both my mother and I thought it was a bit weird. I think he did it out of desperation and not wanting to live alone. I can understand that I guess. What disturbs me is that Art is up and leaving the US for a woman that is about the same age as his son. Lets not forget this isn't the first time his new wife is younger than he is. Also that his son might still be in a fragile state from a incident in the past.
