The week's been a bit of a roller-coaster. I guess that's not unusual for me these days. It would have been worse without the cats -- Bronx is often a bit of a nuisance, but he's a very affectionate, cuddly nuisance.

QOTD: (me, elsenet, apropos feeling old): Today would have been my mom's 105th birthday -- she died a little before her hundredth. My 50th wedding anniversary will be a week from yesterday; it's the fifth I'll be spending without Colleen. Our oldest kid turned 40 in July.

Light is returning to the world, but my capacity for hope is rather limited tonight.

How about this glorious 8-bit version of Ravel's "Boléro"? Or Carol of the Bells [Shchedryk] near the frontline in Ukraine? (I'n a sucker for bandura music.)

Busy week. That's probably a Good Thing. Less time for moping. Three walks, only one short guitar practice session, but also four medical appointments (one in person), several phone calls (GAAK), and two remote document signings. One of which was the purchase agreement for our new house in Den Haag. Closing is September 20th. EEEP!

I think I may be getting old. It sucks. August is National Make a Will Month, but I haven't done that yet. Soon.

OTOH, I've at least gotten used to the idea of being mortal. The alternative isn't worth contemplating, because Graham's number.

My daughter Amethyst would have been 34 years old today. Our cat, Desti, died a year ago Tuesday. I should fed the cats and go to bed.
