Sorry to hear about your friends' daughter, Jrand.

Vibes to you and all her family and friends.

A few weeks ago a good friend's 50-something daughter passed away. She almost died about 8 years ago, but the doctors got her through it, though her quality of life afterwards wasn't very good. When I was at the bookstore the other day I was looking for a nice card for her. I'm trying to send my friend something every few weeks and they have very nice cards. But what can you say? Most humor is out. Sentiments like "Have a nice day" are out. There really aren't a lot that seem suitable. I have some blank cards and will again send a little hand-written note, but there's just so little one can say.

Jane, I hope things work out and your trip goes well. Early travel and trip vibes.

DR John G. - the Internet says there is one more Riordan book in the series after the one you mentioned, for a total of seven books in the series.

My brother has recommended them to me. Unfortunately my Overdrive library does not carry this series.

It's sad enough that she died when she was only 47 years old, but what's really sad is, "She was preceded in death by two infant children."

I know.

RIP, Jessica Walter, 80

I saw this, first as Arrested Development actress dies. I well know who the talented Jessica Walter is but had no idea who the actress mentioned was.

On a lighter note, I had a funny thing happen the other day. I heard the plop of a package landing near my door, but I wasn't expecting anything and assumed it was for one of my neighbors, whose doors are right next to mine. Wrong. A friend had sent me one of those cute Amazon pop-up cards with a gift card in it. When you open the brightly-colored box there's a pop-up of balloons and it says "Happy Birthday." Except my birthday isn't until May. He did get the day right, just not the month. This is a friend who never used to give me my Christmas present until May. He's really, really bad with gifts! So getting a birthday present two months EARLY is a real switch. He's very computer savvy and 'Im surprised he doesn't have some sort of electronic reminder. Oh well. It was a nice surprise and gave me a chuckle. Could have been worse.

Oh man. Two announced within a couple of hours of each other?

Come on, let's have it. Who's number three?

Sigh. Richard Gilliland also died today. He was 71.

We just attended the national online Seder program sponsored by our VP and the Second Gentlemen. I was very impressed; they did a wonderful job, and assembled a really stellar presenting team.

The real thing starts Saturday evening.

Nice.

Yes, that's what I was looking for, but even so the sentiment just wasn't right.

Her performance in Play Misty for Me was wonderful, as was her run as Amy Prentiss. I guess that's why her Lucille Bluth startled me. She really was the funniest thing on that show, with sister Liza Minnelli giving her a run for her money.

My father used to take me to the ballet. I had the good fortune to see Nureyev and Fonteyn dance Swan Lake sometime in the 60's. I can't recall the dates.

The last ballet I went to with my father was at the Greek Theater.

When we lived in Michigan my girlfriend & I saw Mikhail Baryshnikov perform. He had a bad knee by then and was no longer performing as well, still he was wonderful.
