That's so sad, Lisa. Many good thoughts in her direction.
I survived the interview. I think it went pretty well. There were several of those situational "tell me about a time..." questions that I am terrible at answering. Now, I think I need alcohol...once I get off work. Thanks for all the ~ma!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh phew -- Tom, I read your first answer and figured I had been wrong in my thinking, but no!

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Oh Lisa, that's so hard. Comfort and peace to her, and all who love her.
