Lucy, you snuck out in the dead of night, which left me feeling betrayed when I went down to help you pack up and found that you were gone. You let someone else help you after promising me. I don't know that I'll be able to trust you again in the future if you say that you'll let me help and then just leave me without a word of farewell. I may not even let you dress me for future Forum events.
Happy birthday, Barb, and a wish for many many more.
And after trying in vain to have Chris and Mimi sit here while the bad weather passes before heading home, this morning has had a sad beginning in experiencing their departure and the, possible, end of an era. What a joy the two of them have been to me in my short time with the framly. You two will be greatly missed and I look forward to seeing you whenever I have the chance to visit the San Francisco area. Travel safely and know that you will always be thought of with great love and admiration.
