Sadness here, with the death of another close friend. Robin was a talented costumer, a prolific writer of fanfic (until on-line flaming forced her to retreat - shame on them!), an enthusiastic birder, a faithful friend, a lover of her family and a loving bird-mommie to her pets; I will miss her deeply.
A day of working on school-prep, mechanical and painstaking, a good distraction in sadness.
