It has been a very long two weeks, and while I can't say that I'm glad that those two weeks are over, I can say that I wish they didn't have to happen in the first place. Thanks to Bet, Nyssa, Jellybean and Lily for your well wishes!

I'm not in the mood for details at the moment - in fact, I've been in town three days and haven't spoken to more than one or two people. I guess some things have to get worked out in solitude. The basic facts are that my already very sick, but very strong grandmother had a stroke. My siblings and I put her into hospice, where we sat with her until she died 6 days later. It was sad, of course, but I'm very glad to have been able to be with her when she needed me most.

Anyhow, when time before last I posted, I was working on a list of blog topics by Mike. I'll be getting back to those soon.
