I’ve been traveling for the past three weeks, with one more week to go. I don’t mind this kind of travel; it’s a part of my job, not that frequent, the change of pace comes at the right moment , and while this kind of whirlwind means most personal administration gets forgotten (email?

That last post where I spoke about how my husband is basically in charge of the personal administration in our house, so much so that I sometimes wonder what I would do if he went *poof* This in turn reminded me of my favorite part of The Year of Magical Thinking, Joan Didion’s memoir of the death [...]
