It is cool and crisp outside – and delicious as we have all the windows open. That’s the funny thing about early spring – no matter how cool it is, it’s warmer than snow so everyone has the windows open. Yesterday I made a sandwich and sat out on the porch so I could absorb the sun and warm.

Carol’s funeral is today. I’m going in to work early – in about 10 minutes – then leaving at 10:40 to go to the church. Jen is coming with me, which will be nice. It’s good when you don’t have to be brave by yourself.

And thank you, all, for your tremendous compassion and thoughtfulness at this difficult time. Your emails really do mean the world to me.
