mousmeQuite literally.
I called my mother yesterday to see how she was, and got a boatload of death notices.
Penny Beaudinet died. She was a friend of the family, and had been struggling with cancer for a long time. We're going to miss her: she was good people.
My G.P. died. (Oh, the irony) I can't bring myself to feel bad for the misogynistic SOB, but I'm put out that I now have no doctor. Bleh.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn died too. Yes, he was old and it wasn't unexpected, but I still feel like another bit of my cultural history has died.

My own father is hitting 70 this year and I cringe thinking about it.
