Wailing and Gnashing of Teeth

Sachet has left the building. By the time I post this, she should have stepped off the plane and into her new life as a PhD Social Work student in Montreal. It was an emotionally exhausting weekend... starting with her big send-off party at Volunteer Park on Friday night, and ending Sunday night with a final glass of vin and helping her take her luggage out to a waiting car.

I will remember Carole for many things, but especially for her social connectivity. It was fitting that such a large and diverse crowd showed up for her going away/birthday party.

And while there was much public mourning, it was nothing compared to this:

Cheering myself up with goofiness.
