Amethyst Rose: 20

It says something, I suppose, that for the second year in a row I've let August 4th slip by almost unnoticed. If Moira hadn't mentioned something last night, I probably would have.

Our stillborn middle daughter, Amethyst Rose, would have turned 20 yesterday. You'll find the full collection of annual posts here.

To answer your questions: Yes, I'm really OK. No, I don't mind talking about her. I don't think a child I loved should ever be forgotten, even if I never got to touch her. My next CD will be called Amethyst Rose, and I hope to get back to putting down scratch tracks this weekend.

Thanks for listening.

Another productive day at work, and I picked up tweezers and oral anaesthetic on the way home, and got the glass sliver out of my foot. Nasty thing: a little round, flat flake with a sharp edge. And I had a good, long conversation with Moira, and of course Prop 8 was ruled unconstitutional. Good day, on the whole.

On the other hand, it was August 4th. So...

Some good links; my favorite was For Better or For Worse on "the only way to fight". Oh HELL yes!
