I'm supposed to go teach in a few minutes, and I'm bawling.

Oh, how I wish she could have lived long enough to see Putin chased out of Ukraine.
I'm sure that would have made her heart glad.

on edit: One of the most fun art exhibits I ever saw was at Phoenix Art Museum of her large collection of brooches. She wrote little anecdotes about each one stating what it symbolized to her and why she chose to wear it on certain occasions. It really demonstrated her wit and intellect.

What a great lady.
