River: State of the Bear: One Month After

[mdlbear]

... so I've been thinking on and off about "Nancy" by Cordwainer Smith. (Go read it. I'll wait.) It still feels a lot like it did during her last few months, except that I can't call to tell her about... It's actually a very familiar feeling; Dad died back in 1999 and I still have to remind myself sometimes.

Some people like to try new things. I don't, usually -- left to my own devices I'll stay securely in my comfort zone. Colleen dragged me into a lot of things (our relationship, for example), most of which I ended up enjoying. So far I'm not enjoying widowhood.

There is a road, no simple highway Between the dawn, and the dark of night And if you go, no one may follow That path is for, your steps alone...

I never enjoyed downsizing and moving, either.
