I'm up early and it's nippy out, but I actually had a really good sleep, and feel more human today. I had a bath last night, snuggled in bed, and read a mystery. Today is brilliant sun, coupled with the crisp air and fall leaves. I can hear the crows fussing, and it's good to know someone is leading a gay social life. I'm fascinated by crows: their intelligence, their social constructs, even their size and glossy black beauty. I think it's the Indian in me.
My older two children's stepmom's father died yesterday. I was sad to hear it. He was an absolutely delightful, witty man, and so gracious. His three children take after him. He left behind his wife of his whole life, and it must be so difficult for her. His sense of adventurousness was wonderful, and he and his wife traveled far and wide, into their nineties. He was a dear man, and the world is a poorer place without him.
