Sad News, Late

Just grabbed a newspaper from the pile to peruse on the throne. Odd that the 30 July (this yr., at least) section w/ the obits hadn't been sent out the door yet. Even odder (Not going to be that odd in the future. Get used to it.) that we should know one of those obituarized, Irene C. Forrest,

long time gal pal/roommate of a long-time acquaintance. Haven't seen either in some time (They left L.A. yrs. ago, like sensible people, & contact was lost.) our long-time acquaintance wasn't mentioned among the survivors (Romance may have soured, who knows?) but we met Irene several times, & there was nothing not to like about her. Putting up w/ our acquaintance may have gotten her some sainthood points. Belated condolences to all.
