I think you pinpointed what it was that happened to me the other day. There I was in the midst of "Mom, I need more juice" when I opened the paper and saw the obit. And then the timer went off and the muffins were done and I was all, "WTF!" Life goes on, thankfully. Thanks, Foxy. I think you pinpointed what it was that happened to me the other day.

The cycles of life become so apparent at the oddest times. I think I need a muffin now. Could you send one down to CT please? Sad and unexpected emotions to arise during just another day.
