Justified by (when I was a kid, we never wore helmets). Dumb. Girlfriend asked me last night if I wore one and I just gave her a quick kiss and she knew what the answer was. Going forward, I'm covering the dome w more than just a hat. Thanks for sharing. <BR/>Dansoberdanimalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12084129582475436873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8315528367583495916.post-76089061952441362432009-03-30T14:50:00.000-05:002009-03-30T14:50:00.000-05:00Hey Sam,Your comments on Natasha Richardson's deat...Hey Sam,<BR/><BR/>Your comments on Natasha Richardson's death, and the fragility of many who are close to us, touched me. I was shaken by this accident, the idea that a luminous smile, brilliant talent, and apparently very kind person could go, really, in an instant. Some, as we both know, argue longer with leaving this world and fight against doing so--and my hope is that whatever health care we each end up receiving, it is compassionate and kind when we need it most. Perhaps if we can all slow down and focus on the "kindness" part of it, the idea of a peaceable kingdom will come to be... Thanks for your eloquence once again.
