well... Another day, yet another class, and yet another tower of homework. Seems too much, or not enough, or some hideous amalgamation of the two. Many thanks to all, here, and to Pene Azul, for his help with the memorial page. Recently, my father's school had a celebration for my father's life (is that too many "my father's?) and it was executed perfectly. I doubt if he could have pulled it off better: poetry, a tape of him singing "She's a Lady," live music, and Randy Newman's "The Great Nations of Europe" all made an appearance. Sad, but simultaneously very enjoyable, which is quite hard to do. But I digress...CarolC, danke for the quotes: it's funny, he used to use the same voice when he wrote me at camp. I think I'll save this. I'll be in touch.
