| 0:00.0 | So things I've learned about myself over the first three and a half months of this current phase of my life of |
| 0:10.0 | widowhood and I guess that may be the first thing that I've learned is the fact |
| 0:21.0 | that I've had to change my status. I know some of you who have gone through |
| 0:27.2 | divorces probably recognize that there's a lot of paperwork that you come across and asks what your marital status was. |
| 0:37.0 | Today's podcast is also a solo podcast, but a little bit different. It's been about three and a half months since my |
| 0:46.3 | wife Libby died, losing her courageous battle with cancer, was a real champion until the end. |
| 0:56.6 | And no matter how prepared we may or may not be, |
| 1:01.3 | and I didn't have tons of preparation for the immediate time because she was so strong until the end, although we had been forewarned by her oncologists that the disease was |
| 1:17.3 | advancing and we would be talking you know, in terms of weeks as opposed to months and then obviously at some point |

| 2:30.4 | podcast may go and today I thought I should keep with that and follow the same format. |
| 2:41.0 | I may regret it because I may miss some things but I really want this to be |
| 2:47.2 | kind of a personal thing of what I'm experiencing at this point. |
| 2:55.2 | Shouldn't take a lot of time, |
| 2:57.0 | but maybe we'll have some information |
| 2:59.6 | that'll be helpful to you. |
