The lovely wife has been mentioned on this blog once or twice, and she remains eternally patient with my geek nature. She has her limits, but I wouldn't go that far either.
Yesterday, for my birthday, she bought me a star. An actual star - HIP 46569, in the constellation of Hydra. She got it from the Stardome and it’s mine.
Right Ascension 09h 30m 33s. Declination -23 degrees 25’ 03”. Distance 1672.6 light years.
When you and her and I and everybody we know are dust in the wind, that star will still shine down from the heavens for millions and millions of years to come.
I might be a total fuckin' nerd, but I'm a total romantic fuckin' nerd, and she gets me like no other.
Plus, she built this goddamned monstrosity!
