In the end only kindness matters...

You are always worried that I died. :)) Don't be concerned. I informed my sister that if I die tragically or unexpectedly, she is to update this blog with a short note about my passing so readers are aware. I've communicated with many of the same people here for many years, and even though they are only virtual acquaintances, I somehow feel they should know I've faded from planet Earth and drifted onward, or maybe nowhere. :) This is unusual for me to be in a bad mood for such an extended period of time. I guess everyone goes through such life phases, but next week I hop on a plane again. This will help lift the spirits, and I'm dealing with a terminally ill relative, which does not help the situation.
