Happy Week / Melancholy Mood
Still busy, as evidenced by the lack of posts.
It was a happy weekend of parties (office summer party on Friday, Olin summer party on Saturday, Julie's friend's kid's first birthday on Sunday (plus Film Club Sunday evening)). The weeks have been enjoyable, too.
But it's been a melancholy week at the Grotto. My housemate DJ's mom is no more, the best cancer treatments could only do so much. Death is always too soon, but in this case (as in many cases) it is particularly too soon. By all accounts she led an extraordinary life.
The news from Aurora, while less personal, also casts its shadow on the overall mood.
