THe inscription on the grave stone of my father's GM and GF (he fought for the North in the Civil War): They dared to know the right, and knowing, dared to do it. I googled these phrases and found "He knew his duty, and knowing dared to do it" in a speech to the Senate regarding the death (in a duel with a pro-slavery judge) of David Broderick, about 1860. I'm sure the inscription is a reference to GGF's Civil War involvement.

What is your picture? It looks a little like green condoms stuffed with sushi??

Thanks! I needed a laugh like that this morning! I like to roll stuff up in collard leaves. This was hummus, cucumber strips, red pepper strips, arugula, and quinoa that I cooked in veggie broth. You take a paring knife and slice down the leaf to cut the stalk down even with the leaf. It helps to put something like hummus or baba ganoush or veggie dip on the leaf first. It holds the other stuff down while you're rolling it up like a burrito.

Now my mother's journal is noting a huge trade fair in a part of town that "apparently was the home to many Jews recently". This was after Kristalnacht, and I'm wondering if they had started transports already. March 1939.

Reading my mother's travellog in Europe Mrach 1939. She notes that in Austria there was celebration and "making whoopee" far into the night on the anniversary of German's annexation of Austria (Mar 12, 1938).

Hands-On Equations have been a very nice change this week. It really upped motivation for mental work. Great to see!

A four day weekend. Whoo hoo hoo. I aim to scratch my cleaning itch.

Oh no, another murder. At our sister hospital. Fear is tiptoeing behind me. It doesn't HAVE me yet, but I hear its tread.

Today I got a scanned letter my brother wrote my father in fall of '69, from Vietnam, discussing how he was in a very dangerous situation. After talking to father about the details he mentioned something new to me: that most of his fellow draftees were high school dropouts, and that they were bloodthirsty. Eager to kill. I guess I am used to seeing that war either through the CBS evening news or via movies with sympathetic and intellectual protagonists.

Hey. Long time no see. Hope you are well! I miss your periodic blips of humor.

**SLAP** I just figured out who you are. I read your book before bed, for the thrills!

I looked at your blog and your baby is SOOOOOOOO cute. But I bet you knew that already.

Amazing! Well, better than pancreatic cancer. I've seen that, too. I've long said that when a patient gives up a longstanding habit, something is up, but when it happened to me, it was ho hum, until POW, a Madeline moment when Miss Cavell sat up and said something was not right!

We are all so sorry, and hope you have the help and comfort you all must need. ((Lisa))
