Thanks everybody. One of my fondest memories of Robert was a piece he wrote for six instruments, tenor, and chocolate bunny. Another of our friends, who's a flutist like me, bit off the top of the ears and played it like a pop bottle. Then, during a musical break, the tenor wolfed it down most theatrically. Never laughed so hard at a chamber concert in my life.

Go California and Illinois!

Not to be cynical or rain on any parades, but is there any chance the House could change their rules before any of the states got their resolutions done? And if not, on the other side of the fence, do we really want, say, South Dakota to know about this rule (in terms of future use)?

Ailleann, that's such a tragedy. I'm very sorry for your loss.

Huge condolences, Ailleann.

That's terrible, Ailleann. I'm particularly sad now that I know about the chocolate bunny.

Oh honey, how awful. I heard about the crash the other night and was thinking a lot about those poor students.

{{Ailleann}}so sorry for your loss, and the world's loss.

It's amazing how much better a pair of {} can make you feel.

I'm so sorry.
