Sad news

Just a little note to tell you all that my grandfather died yesterday in New Hampshire. We knew he had congestive heart failure, and so it wasn't that unexpected, but, naturally, still sad. He was 88 years old, I think. I got to see him last summer, and I talked to him on the phone a few weeks ago. I'm still a bit not sure of what to do in terms of what degree of normality I should attempt, but I'm still going to London tomorrow, so that'll at least provide some structure and distraction.

Speaking of tomorrow, happy Valentine's day, everyone. Friends are good things to have, even -- or espeically -- at a distance.
