Dear Mom - No Flowers Necessary

Dear Mom,

Kevin McCarthy died yesterday, at the age of 96, and, to answer your inevitable response, no, you don't have to send flowers.

Remember that he was one of my very first crushes as a girl (somewhere in there with Robert Vaughn during 'Man From UNCLE') You joked once or twice that this was probably why I tended to like older men, though when I settled down, it was with partners who were slightly younger. Reality is sometimes weird and unpredictable, isn't it?

Anyway, my weekend was spent doing things that wouldn't interest you, and my lecture today - on Sumeria, Babylonia and other Ancient Civilizations - was less than my best, so I'll make this short.

Love,
b
