A loud space

Today was a sad day - after 19 years together my wife & I separated. This room had some furniture removed, and suddenly felt very empty. Being a husband has been a core part of my identity for a long time so it leads to some very existential query "who am I?", "what do I like?", etc.
In other news I was awarded the ICDE Chair in OER today, but it kinda didn't seem to matter so much.
