He seems kind, genuine, and real. It also looks like we have a few “things” in common (or at least similar “things” on our lists). Plus, I wouldn’t mind traveling…and if I hadn’t run across Stu, it might never have occurred to me to travel to (how do you spell it?) Loughborough, home to what appear to be some of the most spontaneously wacky people in the world:

I mean, really. Maybe they’d recognize the “Goddess of Google” and take me out for a proper English tea. Or throw socks at me. Or something.

Come to think of it, I’m 98.7% sure, now, that I know where those missing socks my washer ate have gone. Must go meet Stu; maybe he’ll help me find them.

So I can squirt him with a water gun for introducing me to yet-another-online-addiction: 43Things.

Oh, seriously? Because he seems sincere, intelligent, kind, supportive, quietly outgoing (not pushy, just friendly and kind).

My parents met her at a book signing, while buying an autographed book for ME. They expected to dislike her, and were, instead, quite charmed. From their shared political views to her kindness to my mom (who was ill at the time), they had nothing but nice things to say about her. I hope to meet her one day.

Because in addition to being a brilliant, gifted researcher and surgeon, he seems to be a genuinely nice human bean.

He contributed to a cookbook my mother edited, years ago, for charity (a delicious recipe for gumbo that does NOT look particularly heart-healthy, by the way). He sent first birthday greetings to my daughter, at my request (seventeen years ago).

And…well…I have his hands. Really. Well, sort of. It’s a long story.
