First of all, sorry for my english.

…reminds me of… Well, my wife and I met at a FirstClass BBS (an old-style one, not internet-based until later), and spent months knowing each other by public forum messages and by private mailing before we met in person. No pics sent. No real-time chatting. Lots of literature, cinema, theatre, and trivial issues discussed, debated and chewed between us (in Geneva, 10 or 12 pt. text), just workin’ to know each other better each day.
When we first met in person we were already in love. 10 years and a few days have passed since. A lovely daughter expanded our family. We’re still in love as we were a decade ago, and this lovely dream still continues.
Happiness does exist. We bear witness to that. And we’re glad you decided to join the club of the “happily married”. Perhaps it’s not an overcrowded one, heh, but it’s lovely, and especially when served –and when given the chance to serve– breakfast in bed.
Yeah, online communication is cold, yeah, yeah.
Exactly.
Go figure.

[…] In the short term, I worry that the most obvious effect will be a deleterious one for the bloggers. For the most part, I don’t think that hiring/tenure committees care if you have a blog, occasional anonymous scare-mongering notwithstanding. (It might even help.) But blogging about the process might be the kind of thing that makes committees nervous. Personally, I would never blog about a major occupational transition while it was going on; when it’s all set up and the ink is drying, it makes sense to let people know, but in the middle of the process I would be (with good reason) worried about stepping on people’s toes. (Same thing with getting engaged.) […]

Congratulations!

My wife is a full-time Physics professor. I’ve been an adjunct Astronomy Professor.

We met at a Science Fiction convention, on a continent other than the one where eaither of us had been born or brought up.

Yesterday, 14 Feb 2007, we celebrated our 21st wedding anniversary.

We still do research, even sometimes together.

We’ve managed to publish (a lot), raise a son (who’s about to get his double B.S. at age 18).

It can all be done.

It isn’t easy, but it is worth doing.

Best of luck to you both.

Being Sean’s Mom has been an indescribably wonderful experience and I am now thrilled that Jennifer will join our family. Sean and Jennifer, you are wonderful people and I know you will make each other very happy (therefore me, too). Love, Mom

Hi there!
I may be a wee bit prejudiced, as your intended has been my closest female friend since, oh, pretty much the dawn of time [a dangerous phrase to use around a cosmologist, but hey-I live for adventure]-but Jen is the most talented, lovely, kind, brilliant, loyal and generally GOOD person I know. (Except my mom, and she’s taken, fellas.) I have never seen her more radiantly happy.
Long may you both wave.
Big congrats
love
peri

Hey, congratulations! My husband and I also met in 1994 here in the invisible raum, which could back then, have passed for a secret room inside our imaginations. For several months we wrote back and forth across the Atlantic and out of a question-asked, a question-answered grew a warm, romantic friendship. A year later, I quit my job, packed my big ole hounddog, and 10 boxes of books and moved from the Midwest to Stuttgart, Germany.

In the midst of all that chaos and adventure it was really just a short step to falling deeply in love. We celebrated our 10th anniversary last April, and wish you both the happiness we have found.

Hooray Sean! Congrats to you and Jennifer! I’m a bit envious because I wanted the bag of plagues. One learns a lot from one’s advisor — perhaps I should mention my plush burnt loaf of bread in my future dates?
