I am going to Vail tomorrow! It's for a legal ed course, but I am so excited to be in the mountains and even better, away from my office! I'm trying to decide if I dress casual business like, or more casual mountain something.
This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

Thanks anyway, Jesse. I got a 14-day trial subscription to the Globe on my Kindle, and it's not there anyway. I'm just going to have to bother the family to get the info.

Teppy, there's a beetle playing a banjo, if your brother's bass-playing frog needs company.
He could make a whole taxidermied string band!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Polgara, I have access to the print Globe this week. There's no John Ludden in Monday or Tuesday's, but I can keep checking; obituaries often don't appear for several days. I am happy to clip and mail if one appears. (Also, they are paid, so there may not be one if the family didn't want to pay.)

Thanks, flea! The family would definitely have paid--he was a doctor and I think in charge of one of the local HMOs (although probably not recently). The further we get from Sunday, the more I'm afraid we'll miss the funeral entirely, so I may just send the flowers to the house instead.
It's been super stressful. The deceased is my boss's dad, and my boss is well-loved here, yet HIS boss decided to "keep it simple" and only send a card. ?!! Totally unacceptable. So I promised the people in my department that I'd take care of it myself, but trying to find anything out from here has been surprisingly difficult.

No death notice in Wednesday's Globe either. If his middle initial is M., it looks like he was a managing director at Harvard Pilgrim. They have a media relations number: 617-509-7458 that might be able to help you out before bothering the family. There's also a listing for a doctor of that name who's a psychiatrist (age 72, of that helps make sure it is the right man), his office at: (617) 636-2486.
