Peace and love, Jesse.
I'm not sure how old he is, but I heard him use the word 'newfangled' one time, so he's gotta be pretty far gone.

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.

Sorry to hear that Jesse. May she have a peaceful time of it.
In other news, I finally got Creative Suite 4 to install on my new laptop after trying since I got home tonight (CS 3 didn't make the transition from my old laptop intact, and the fresh install wouldn't work for InDesign even with a new serial no.) I'm not sure if I want to try a CS 5 install next or just use my Creative Cloud account from work to add compatible current versions, but that's a decision for tomorrow.
I celebrated finally being able to open files with my first-ever birch beer, which I think I prefer to root beer and other sarsaparilla-based drinks I've tried.

I'm sorry, Jesse. I read so many hopeful articles about possible advancements in the disease, but that is not very helpful for the people who have already suffered its ravages.
Mmm, birch beer.
Serious question, what do people think about the #leavefacebook movement? I am torn. On the one hand they are evil scum, yet they connect me with people I would not connect with easily otherwise. Buffistas I have here, but family that I almost never see F2F and other friends. Ugh. It is a quandary, and frankly I don't like that I seem to have such feeling about leaving, when they don't deserve my support.

Because books.
I feel the same way, Laura. I'm not sure what to do.
Jesse, I'm sorry about your grandmother. I hope it's an easy passing for her, and you and your mom.
Birch beer is the BEST.

I've never tried birch beer. Is it a regional thing?

I think it's mostly northeastern? It's like root beer, but stronger and less sweet.

So my grandmother's just gone into hospice, and I just hope she dies. Which sounds so terrible to say
That's doesn't seem like a terrible thing to say. A lingering, drawn-out death is not something I'd wish on anyone.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

It's not very different from Sarsaparilla?

Ha, thanks Jesse. I hadn't read that one yet. I particularly liked,
"Some days, without warning, I will surprise you with a painful reminder of a lost loved one that you weren't prepared for at all."
I am however still torn.
