No other way to tell this, Maria (MFNlaw)'s husband died at home this morning. Just finished talking to her and she's with her parents, headed home with them. I don't know what else I should share on the open board. Feel free to email me at my username dot 1 at the gmail. Please keep her and their families in your thoughts.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
My yahoo email address was hacked sometime this morning. If you got mail from me please make sure it's *from me* (and I haven't sent anything since last evening) before you open it. Things should have been taken care of. If anybody gets any more spam from me, please let me know. Sorry, and thanks.

The potential (Buffy flashback, like whoa) is on his way and should arrive in about a half hour.
I've set up places to go and people to sniff and am hoping we get time for a brief nap. I need to know if he snores.
It feels sort of like a doggy blind date.
Wish us both calm and good choices.

PS: I'd appreciate some release-of-guilt ~ma, if anybody has any laying about. It's only been two months...forever, and no time at all.
