Life and death and sfwriter...
Hi all,

You can see the details here, but in short, the last couple of weeks have been a roller coaster.

My father died two sundays ago, and last Sunday, my daughter was born. I guess those are as big as the extremes get.

Long time Democrat Sanford Clark Sr. was laid to rest with military honors. I wish I could have been there to rub that in the face of my right-wing chicken-hawk uncles.

Future Dem, Emma Maxwell Clark was born Sunday at 1:00am after 17 hours of labor, two hours of pushing, and a C-section. Both mom and baby are in great shape as they struggle with breast feeding.

1. Condolences and Congratulations
Since I well know the range of emotions and experiences you've had, I'll leave it at that.

Peace.
