Vinnie:

Thanks. I'm touched. Bill's death has affected me quite a lot, and in a number of unexpected ways. I'm also going through some of the stuff Wretchard is talking about in this post. The one thing about grief, though, is that time and friends help. My sister has lots of friends with her, so at least I don't have to worry about that. But since I'm living in a new area most of the folks I know are in "virtual mode." It's easy for me to forget that they're still here.
