Our wings are not tired.

In the back of my mind I was hoping for big fixable mistake. Rest in painless peace dear Ginger.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Oh, god. This another hard loss. I'm becoming too acquainted with this in my fifties.

Of many memories and thoughts about Ginger, I'll note that she put me and Emmett up when I went to Georgia for my Dad's memorial. Got to meet Mr. Peabody and see her house and her art collection and her books. Sit in her kitchen and drink coffee with her. And she drove us out to where we needed to pick up the highway, and we all went to Waffle House for breakfast.

And I picked up the check for breakfast, such a little thing, especially after she'd put us up, and I remember that she looked so appreciative and grateful and maybe a little surprised.

I don't think she expected good things to come her way. I don't think she received her fair share of kindness in the world. I know for a fact she gave far more than she received in the world. Gave to so many of us. I wish I could have given her more.

I had so much respect for her, and love and affection.

Thank you for being there for her for us, Zen. It means a thing.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

Damn

As an atheist, I am content with my own end. As a human being, I want to meet everyone again.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Well, either way, it's not up to us at all.

Oh, dear Ginger. God speed you to your peaceful, painless rest.

I keep typing and then deleting. It's so hard to know what to say.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Thank you, Zen.

The world seems wrong without Ginger in it. I don't want to mourn her, I want talk with her.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

I loved so many things about Ginger, but one of the (many) things we bonded about was our exasperating mothers (and she had a bonus sister). I met them for dinner once in DC, and I felt her pain. But, it was shared. And she told me that it was one of her favorite times with her mother and sister because she had someone to roll her eyes at.

I will miss her.
