We spent our last day in MA, yesterday, visiting a family friend in Swampscott. It was nice to talk with someone that knew our family, in addition to being a charming, intelligent, and thoughtful host.

While we delighted in his conversations about his studies in family genealogy, my good friend in Tucson was visiting her dying sister. Her sister recently received the results of her post-chemo and radiation therapies, and learned that while some cancer was killed, others had not been...

Hi...

We decided we're gonna go out and see a movie this morning. We've been hearing good things about that movie Julie and Julia. It was really a pretty good little movie.

Okayy so I have this friend and she's 18 and idk what to tell her.she hasn't told her mom or dad yet but is going to at the end of the month because her dad said if she gets pregnant he will kick her out. She talks to me almost every night about her problems. I'm running out of inspirational things to tell her to help her get through this.I need help. She and the dad are scared.

My husband kept a recording of that pep talk to play to himself for decades. It used to BUG me to NO END. Of course IT MATTERS! EveryTHING MATTERS!! my tortured brain would scream out at me in denial. THIS (anything and everything) MATTERS.

What a dolt I was then. God/Allah/Brahma...
