Me, I'd rather eat 'em than talk about 'em, mostly.

Sa'witch is not an uncommon pronunciation hereabouts. Some of these people sound like they have permanent head colds.

Oh goodie! This is one of my favorite films. Sort of a cross between It's A Wonderful Life, Easy Rider and A Mighty Wind. Be sure to pass me a kleenex when we get to the part about selling everything and moving to New York City. That part always gets to me. <sniff>

My family, of which not all so much is left, a bunch of cousins that I keep snagging.. at least one group is always efficient, as I get birthday notices for me more than a month early, and c/cards early too. The cousin who sends them has and is an expert in ADHD. But then I understand her to be making up for confusion with stultifying organization.

It's a little cold. No one wants efficient christmas cards...

It is hard to get through to her. When I call, I get this twenty minutes of recitation, and looking back, that is how it has mostly always been. So... that... she/they... don't know me very well.

Seed, glad to hear that. I don't even think of sending notes out until days after christmas, days after new year.

One of my favorite holiday cards comes once a year, for all these years, an original drawing by a landscape architect friend who has mapped the Santa Susanna mountains and much of the west... well, original on a photocopy. But still.

He drives all/most of the small roads of the western US....

and I get that holiday drawing/card round about March.

I did receive a holiday letter tonight, when I got home after work, that shut up some of my equilibrium. Sharon died, and I didn't know about it.

So.... Sharon and I exchanged letters, mostly at holiday time, for a few decades. We remembered each other well.

We started out as techs in this godforsaken clinical lab in Beverly Hills, me trying to get a job where I could learn more hematology, and she, well, I don't remember why. But we were immediately pals as techs there, along with a couple of other techs, and Nat Mayweather, the driver, who sang along perfectly with Sharon in motownsounds. For me, I liked and barely knew Nimi Nomoangolo, from Camaroon, and a couple of other people. Was an interesting lab... that was where I dodged taking Jim Morrison's premaritals and got Marilyn to do it.

Anyway, when I went back to UCLA I recommended Sharon to m'boss and she was hired. She was both a mess and efficient, my favorite type of person.

I will never forget, the time NIH came to review our lab, and we techs knew it but didn't care all so much, compared to our bosses, who did - well, we cared, but continued to breathe. I have this vision of Sharon pouring a sephadex column - standing on the lab bench to do it, when the NIH guys came in and she dropped the beaker. Not a small beaker, but a gallon beaker....

Whatever, we got the grant, and later did well by it, and the sephadex column was only a break in the day.

God rest Sharon.
