I wish I had words, especially for you, Drew (and Pix, and Sean. And all who held him dear).
I've been up for almost three hours. There were (are) errands to run before the weekend, but, you know, it's not really going to happen today.
How did your brain even learn human speech? I'm just so curious.

For the moment at least I need to try to shake it off. I have a first past design review for a project that is going into China later this year at 10 tomorrow morning. I'm going to need to be on my game for that. Right now I'm just not ready to sleep.

I hope that you are able to. Sleep can be a mercy, as the reality is going to be there tomorrow, too. And good luck with the review.
And with that, I might as well face the day. There's a place to clean a bit and I need to go to my parents and help them for a few hours.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Drew, good luck getting some balance of mind to do the work that needs to be done, and the rest that you need.
Shir, I'm glad to see you, even for just a little bit.

I just ordered three Johnny Cash CDs. Maybe I shouldn't do this at 4:30 in the morning. But then again, it's American III, IV, and V. Something about his aged voice, the combination of vulnerability and power, is even more compelling than when he was in his prime.

Much love to Pix, Drew and Sean.

Good luck today, ND

{{{ND}}} I'm so sorry that you have to try to set aside your grief for a time. That must be very difficult. Good luck with the review.
It's good to see you Liese.

First, good luck on the project review this morning.
Being responsible and doing what you gotta do is another trait you shared with BC. He powered through despite life's burdens. Most of my interactions with BC were of the social variety where I was delighted by his charming good nature and bright wit. But he also clearly had a side we didn't see as often. He took great pride in his body of work, and deservedly so! I loved how he could make jokes about the absurd obstacles put in the way of him doing his job by bat shit crazy bureaucracy. A too short life that made an impact on many levels.
So I am trying to keep some optimism over this healthcare crap. Is this going to be like the previous zillion times they voted to repeal. This dies in the Senate, right?
