Condolences, Liese. It sounds like a good life for an interesting man. I'm glad you were able to be there.
I'm just waiting to see if I pass out. Long story.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Liese, I'm so sorry for your loss, but I'm glad you were able to be with your dad at the end.
After I hit "Post" I am going to look out the window at the house across the street for 20 seconds (it's easy to measure because the clock in the living room ticks loudly enough that the people in the aforementioned house across the street can probably hear it -- so, easy to count 20 seconds).

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Wow, Patty Duke died, and she was only 69. What is it about that age recently?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Shocking thing from that obit -- her real name, Anna, was "too ethnic" for Hollywood?!? Does that mean Catholic?

Maybe Catholic, maybe too Eastern/Southern European. Good Anglo-Saxons are called Ann/Anne.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Liese, I'm so sorry.
Scola, enjoy your unexpected freedom!
Woo hoo for plumbing!

I guess "ethnic" is always non-WASP, right? (Whichever letter you focus on.) Anna just seems so innocuous to me. It's not like her name was Saoirse or Agnieszka.
