Gmail message went to A Co-worker
I sent myself an important tax document as an attachment this afternoon, sending it from my corporate gmail account to myself at the same address. No one was cc'd or bccd. an hour later a coworker wrote me and asked: did you mean to send this to me? He had received my message and attachment... I checked my sent messages and found the message i sent to myself but nothing to him and he was not Bcc'd. How could this have happened? His name and mine are not close by the way.
Gmail security settings???
I was checking the security setting on my gmail account this AM and was alarmed to see that govtrack.us had somehow been granted " granted the following services access to your Google Account". Especially concerning since i had never seen that site, or even heard of it. What gives?
HELP: google contacts seems to be psychotic!
Google contacts seems to be getting increasingly problematic for me. In some contact records, I have over a dozen random email addresses assigned to a contact (that have no relation at all). In others, the contact email is legitimate, but is now named after some individual I have never ever had any form of contact with, apparently through some google+ functionality (I have not signed up for google+). Aside from ditching this increasingly crappy platform, any advice how it make this work? I cant see hand fixing thousands of contacts....

How close is iPhone prototype to final product?
Thursday, April 22, 2010 at 12:54 PM | Posted by LOOPRumors Staff
The bar code attached to the misplaced Apple prototype found in Redwood City, believed to be an iPhone 4G, which reportedly reveals what stage of production the device was in.
"'N90' is Apple's codename for the fourth-generation GSM iPhone, slated for release this June or July," Gruber writes for Daring Fireball. "'DVT' stands for 'design verification test,' an Apple production milestone.
"The DVT milestone is very late in the game; based on this, I now believe that this unit very closely, if not exactly, resembles what Apple plans to release."
Much of the latest iPhone's internal hardware has been reorganized, according to Gizmodo, making room for a 19% percent larger battery.
The device has two separate buttons for volume in place of a rocker, a front-facing video chat camera, and many other modifications.

Drungli – The Adventure Generator
What is Drungli?
Drungli is an ambitious project about budget travelling.It is the portal that offers a new concept of travelling. A travel experience truly innovative and low cost, not just flights on aircraft, balloons, zeppelins or overland on trains, buses, car lifts, but also accommodation and local guides. Drungli is a complete adventure for people who are tired of solitary tourism reading generalized tourist guides and who want to interact with local people living the way the local people do and maybe make some good friends around the globe. With Drungli we want to bring men close to eachother and make the world smaller and affordable for everyone.
Drungli's project is the result of months of discussion between friends. The necessity to integrate hospitality websites, flights, trains, buses, car lifts and so on brought us here.
So here we are facing a new interesting and ambitious challenge with Drungli.
Today we're releasing the stealth page inviting anyone who wants to join at www.drungli.com.
By taking these small steps, we'll be able to keep you updated about Drungli's development and iterate as quickly as possible when the beta version is ready to test.
We are very proud of where Drungli is right now. In less than 2 months, we've gone from nothing to a great starting point from which the developers can keep working.
Our work is nowhere close to done. To us, that is the best part. There are always more things to improve, more tricks to learn, and more awesome features to add.
Drungli to everyone and see you soon

David Bruce: Brutal winter has changed us a little
I don't need the National Weather Service to tell me this has been an unusually brutal winter.
The tires on my snowblower are nearly bald from all the miles I have put on them since Thanksgiving. I also have broken two snow shovels, but only one of them due to a weather-related temper tantrum.
Complaining about the winter of 2013-14 has become an Olympic event in much of the country, including winter-wimpy cities like Atlanta, Charlotte and Pittsburgh.
But that's not the case in Erie, the city that survived the winter of 1977-78, when it seemed Mother Nature was determined to turn Erie into her very own snow globe.
We also laughed off minus 18 degree temperatures the morning of Jan. 19, 1994, the lowest temperature ever recorded in Erie.
These past four months have had an effect on many of us, though. We aren't complaining, but the nearly four months of frigid, snowy weather has changed us in small but noticeable ways.
Here are some examples:
We know city snowplow schedules better than bus schedules. At the start of winter, people in my neighborhood rushed out after a blizzard and began snowblowing.
A couple of city snowplows would drive by a few hours later and toss piles of ice and hardened snow on the end of our driveways. We would have to go out and remove the snow again.
Now most of us wait until the snowplows ride by before we venture out to clear snow. In my neighborhood, it's become an after-dinner activity.
Below-zero temperatures are no longer news. We've had nine days this winter when the low temperature has been at or below zero at Erie International Airport.
I'm so used to the cold that I didn't check GoErie.com or local television to see if classes were canceled the other morning before taking my daughter to school.
As I drove by a bank, its sign posted the temperature: minus 5. Uh oh, I thought. But my instincts were right. My daughter's school was open. There wasn't even a two-hour delay.
We forgot how to dress when it's 40 degrees. A brief warm-up last week sent temperatures above freezing. As a result, people went outside in clothing more suited for Beach 6 in July.
One guy wore shorts, hoodie and sneakers, and another was dressed in just a short-sleeved T-shirt and jeans.
I hope they know the early signs of frostbite.

Trophy Club's Ryan Custer may want to rethink his business plan, especially after visiting ABC's Shark Tank and recieving more than a grilling from the show's panel which included Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban.
Hoping to capture funding to the tune of $150,000 for his line of "cougar" themed energy drinks, Custer crashed and burned on the television show after the panel told the budding business man that his product tasted like "chalk" and was in too-segmented of a market.
Custer who, at 24, still lives with his parents (and calls them his "roommates"), got the inspiration for the product from his 35-year-old girlfriend, and proclaimed cougar, Dusty.
What does Dusty think about having a younger boyfriend? "He plays great with my kids," she said in a segment on the show.
Watch Custer's last stand in the video above.

Make sure you don't have Firefox set to use a proxy

If ping works, the basic network connectivity, routing, DNS translation,
etc is OK. Do other applications (Tbird, Pan, etc) work?

TEMPE, Ariz. — It was one of the final postgame questions, and it made Notre Dame coach Lou Holtz turn away from the microphone.
The question was about next season and a probable preseason No. 1 ranking for the Irish.
The team that wiped out previously undefeated West Virginia, 34-21, in Fiesta Bowl XVIII to wrap up a 12-0 season and the mythical national championship was supposed to be a year away from greatness, remember?
"We've really got some real problems on this team," Holtz deadpanned, bringing down the house. "I really don't know how we're going to replace that senior leadership. Right now, we're just gonna let it ride until we get back to South Bend."

WASHINGTON (AP) - Independent Counsel Robert Ray won't prosecute anyone in the White House travel-office controversy, and is putting the finishing touches on a report likely to be made public before Hillary Rodham Clinton's Senate campaign ends, officials say.
Some documents and testimony gathered by Ray's office and already on the public record suggest Hillary Clinton played a central role in instigating the firing of seven longtime employees in the White House travel office shortly after President Clinton took office.
The May 1993 firings of the entire White House travel office staff, which arranges travel for reporters accompanying the president on official trips, touched off one of the earliest political controversies in her husband's presidency. The first lady denies being involved.
The report could be sent to a three-member federal appeals court panel as early as next week and publicly released three months from now after lawyers for the first lady and others named in the document have had an opportunity to respond.

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen have split up – at least as far as their living quarters are concerned.
The Olsens, who both attend New York University, are spending their second semester in their own individual digs, a source tells PEOPLE. Mary-Kate moved out of the pair's three-bedroom Tribeca apartment and into a spacious loft in Soho, just in time for school to begin Tuesday.
Their shared Tribeca apartment was always meant to be "temporary," according to a source familiar with their living situation. Renovations of the penthouse apartment they bought together at Morton Square in Manhattan's trendy West Village are taking longer than expected, and it won't be ready before school is out. "They still plan to move into Morton Square," said the source.
The twins' rep, Michael Pagnotta, declined to comment on the move. "I'm not going to discuss their living arrangements," he says. But he did shoot down tabloid reports suggesting that there's a rift between the sisters.
"They are as close as ever. There's no problem between them. They're not growing apart," Pagnotta says. "They're two different people. They share a lot of interests but they also do a lot of things separately.
"They're in business together. They go to school together. They're sisters."
Pagnotta also noted the college freshmen are more settled now. "They've got a semester under their belt," he said. "They've made new friends," he added, suggesting the twins are simply enjoying their independence.
Once the Morton Square apartment is finished, Ashley and Mary-Kate will be living together again. "There's more than enough space for the two of them to live their lives," said a friend.
The twins also still work closely running their business empire. They will be launching new perfumes in the spring as well as a new furniture line for teenagers and tweens.

Some players just have a hard time turning it on in the playoffs. Even though they might have had great regular seasons, the playoffs seem different, and that can be a major problem for their teams.
In the five-game Divisional Series, there is no time for star players to fall into a slump, but inevitably some do. Some players simply have a tough week, and as unfortunate as it is, it can have a major impact on the ultimate outcome.
I selected three players from each of the four series who fell into this category. Each one of them is a player that you would expect to ultimately do better but did not produce for his team.

Grant Process
Prior to any grant application, faculty/staff grant proposals must be circulated to the following individuals with a TJC External Funding Request Pre-Approval Form:
- Department Chair
- Dean of the School
- Provost
- Controller
- Director of Public Affairs & Grant Development
Completed forms with required signatures may be submitted to the provost or the vice president of advancement & external affairs to be placed on the weekly agenda for executive cabinet review.
How to Submit Proposals for External Funding
External Funding Request Form
Proposals for grants or subcontracts that will be administered by Tyler Junior College or the Tyler Junior College Foundation (i.e., funds are paid to and disbursed by the college and/or the TJC Foundation) must be reviewed and approved before they are submitted to the funding agency. Please follow these steps:
- Complete a TJC External Funding Request Pre-Approval Form, available on the related downloads page.
- For government grants, include a TJC Financial Conflict of Interest Form, also found on the related downloads page.
- Obtain signatures of department chair, dean, provost, controller and director of public affairs and grant development.
- The proposal, with required signatures, must arrive to the director of public affairs and grant development at least five business days before your grant application due date.
- The director of public affairs and grant development will notify you of executive cabinet action and if approval has been granted for your grant application.
Grant Application or Proposal
- Contact the director of public affairs and grant development or coordinator of grants early in the process and let them know your plans and application deadline(s). The director of public affairs and grant development or coordinator of grants will advise you on proposal preparation, interpret agency guidelines and assist with any required documents or letters of support.
- Make appointments with the appropriate people (department chair, dean, provost, or other) to discuss aspects of the project that involve college funds or physical plant resources. Some examples are cost-sharing, release time, equipment needs, hiring personnel, construction or renovation of facilities, or classroom/laboratory needs. Note that all grant proposals must fit with the College's Strategic Plan.
- Proposals that include any new positions - temporary or permanent, full- or part-time - require additional approvals. Consult with the director of public affairs and grant development or coordinator of grants early in the process if you plan to include new personnel.
- Submit the External Funding Request Form for signature routing. Note that while work on a grant proposal or application may begin in advance of executive cabinet approval, an actual grant application or proposal should not be submitted to a funding foundation or agency without executive cabinet approval.
- Allow time to circulate the proposal and obtain necessary signatures.
- Include any agency forms requiring the signature of the college president.
- Proposals to many federal agencies are submitted electronically via www.grants.gov. For additional assistance, contact the director of public affairs and grant development or coordinator of grants.
- When a proposal is funded, the provost, director of public affairs and grant development or coordinator of grants will send a copy of the award letter to the project director and to all those who signed the External Funding Request Form. If you receive notification directly from the funding agency, please forward a copy of the letter to the director of public affairs and grant development. It is important that all offices in the approval process have access to award letters.
- The controller's office serves as the post-award audit function for grants and sponsored research.
Post-Award Administration and Reporting
TJC's controller's office serves as an audit function for grants. Contact Carol Hutson, firstname.lastname@example.com.
Reporting on the use of grant funds is an essential part of the funding process. Timely reports are important to the individual grant recipient and to the college's continuing relationship with the foundation or agency.
- The director of public affairs and grant development and the controller's office will monitor grant expenditures and filing of required reports to the funding agency.
- Copies of correspondence related to the grant should be forwarded to the director of public affairs.
- Requests for changes to grant terms and conditions - including budget changes and time extensions - are handled through the controller's office.
- If an applicant receives an award on behalf of the TJC Foundation, a Donor Gift Form (found on the related downloads page) should be completed and submitted to the coordinator of donor relations.
Roles and Responsibilities

Lot # 1411 (of 1411) < Previous Lot |
1920s Honus Wagner Zinn Beck Pro Model Coaches Bat
Starting Bid - $2,500.00, Sold For - $3,190.00
Please Note: This Honus Wagner Pro Model bat came in so late that it does not appear in the printed catalog. It appears only on the internet, at the request of the consignor.
"You gotta be a man to play baseball for a living, but you gotta have a lot of little boy in you, too." That quote, while attributed to Roy Campanella, could easily have been uttered by Honus Wagner many years earlier. The famed "Flying Dutchman's" love of baseball was as legendary as his skill on the diamond; therefore, it was no surprise that following his official Major League retirement in 1917 he continued to play ball on the semipro circuit throughout the 1920s. He also served as an informal Pirates coach throughout the 1920s before rejoining the team as an official coach in 1933. Offered here is a rare 1920s Zinn Beck professional model bat specially produced for Wagner during his post Major League career. Its unique provenance is displayed upon the end of the barrel, which is stamped "Hans Wagner Model" in block letters. The centerboard displays both the company name ("Zinn Beck Bat Co.") and the model, "100 Diamond Ace." The bat features a hand-turned knob (indicative of pro model bats) and displays heavy use throughout including cleat marks, deadwood on the reverse of the barrel, and an approximate 7-inch crack in the handle. Remnants of vintage black tape also remain affixed along the handle. The pro model status of this bat is confirmed by a number of important characteristics. The "100 Diamond Ace" centerboard dates from the 1920s and is one of the two centerboards (the other is "Extra Special") found on all other side-written Zinn Beck model bats housed in the H&B vaults (returned to the company by professional players as templates for future bats). Equally important is the fact that the bat features a hand-turned knob as opposed to the Zinn Beck company stamping that is normally found on store-model bats. Lastly, the use of Wagner's full name, and its placement on the end of the barrel rather than under the centerboard further confirms its having been made specifically for Honus Wagner. At a length of 33 inches, the offered bat measures slightly shorter than other known Wagner pro model bats (between 34 and 36 inches); however, that minor anomaly may simply reflect Wagner's deference to his advancing years. As most collectors are well aware, Honus Wagner game bats dating from his Major League career are virtually nonexistent (less than a handful are known); therefore, this particular bat represents the next best alternative to its much rarer (and expensive) cousin. Length: 33 inches. Weight: 36 ounces. Graded A7 by Mears (base grade of 5, with 3 points added for use and 1 point deducted for its length.) LOA from Dave Bushing & Troy Kinunen/MEARS. Reserve $2,500. Estimate (open). SOLD FOR $3,190.00

With temperatures rising across the country many gardeners are now witnessing their early spring crops starting to bolt. Our company garden has seen a heat wave with record highs and a 3 week dry spell that caused our collards and spinach to go to seed. We cleaned them out depositing the stems in our composter and prepped the bed to plant again. In the meantime however, we wanted to save our black seeded simpson lettuce and other greens from following in the collards footsteps.
We looked around the office, paced the garden, scratched our heads and then it hit us. We need to give these plants a bit of shade and relief from the heat. We happened to have several burlap coffee bean sacks lying around from a shipment of asparagus crowns just waiting to be reused and repurposed. Burlap is a great material to use to create a sun shade since it has a wide weave allowing rainfall and some light through. We call our creation the shade hut.
We like to stay earth friendly in the company garden so our repurposed coffee bean bags were given a third life. We started by ripping the seams out of the burlap sack and opening it up flat. If you are covering a large area you may have to use more than one sack or you can buy burlap by the yard at most fabric stores.
Next we hammered in stakes at the corners of the bed; we used rebar that again we had left over from another project. Wood stakes, broom handles or piping would work too, as long as they are tall enough to clear the mature plants.
After marking our corners off we used monofilament wire to create a platform for the burlap to lie on. The monofilament, attached to the rebar a few inches from the top in an X, keeps the burlap from sagging and helps support the weight of the burlap when wet.
We cut small holes in the burlap and pulled it over the rebar stakes, allowing for the south side to hang down to the ground. You could use twine or self-locking ties to further attach the burlap to the stakes but we haven't found it necessary. We created our shade hut in the simplest form; you could however install it in a tent style or with PVC as a mini hoop house for even more shade coverage.
It has been a week since we installed our shade hut over our wilting cabbage and lettuce bed. I am happy to report that the cabbage has perked up and the lettuce is looking great! We can't wait to enjoy the fruits of our labor in the coming weeks.

Hilton-Watson, 40, apparently collapsed midsentence and died Monday during his class.
Everyone, including me, is in shock. It is heartbreaking for both campus and the community to lose him.
I remember the first time I met Matt.
I had just written an inspiring story about Dennis Notenboom, a Dutch citizen who had adopted a grave of a Flushing soldier killed in World War II.
Notenboom trekked from his home in the Netherlands to Belgium to honor the grave of this fallen Purple Heart Flushing soldier. It was his way of saying thanks to the U.S. for creating a free country for him and his family to live in.
After the story, I got a call from a professor at UM-Flint.
I have to say, I thought Matt the professor was a bit nutty.
I could only imagine how he would even propose such an idea to this perfect stranger all the way in the Netherlands who had never been to the U.S. and was afraid of flying.
But he did just that.
"I wrote to him and said 'l know you'll think this is strange, but I want to fly you over,'" Matt told me. He honestly didn't think it was that strange at all.
And guess what? Notenboom said yes.
Through fundraising and his own pocket, Matt found the money to pay for Notenboom's plane ticket. His family even hosted Notenboom at their Flushing home.
But ... why?
"I just think students can learn a lot from him," Matt told me.
Matt took Notenboom to a Flushing elementary school so Notenboom could tell children there his story. All of this just so young people could learn a great lesson of gratitude.
And he wanted Notenboom to learn more about his adopted soldier's hometown.
This story barely cracks the surface of the type of person Matt was. Just ask his students and fellow teachers who had a lot to say on an online memorial at campus.
He did poetry under the stars at the Planetarium. He wanted to "internationalize" Flint by bringing French Canadian artists to perform music here.
He was witty, sometimes over-the-top energetic and his excitement and enthusiasm were simply contagious.
And Matt dared to dream.
My thoughts are with his family, colleagues and many friends he had made all over the globe. I invite them to share their stories too.

WELLSBORO - Some new names will greet Tioga County voters on this year's municipal primary election ballot May 21.
According to a preliminary list provided by the Voter Registration Office there could be races at the county level, including the treasurer's position, along with races on the local level for borough, township and school director seats open for competition should challengers surface to run against incumbents.
County voters will choose their political party's candidate for a sheriff, magisterial district judge, Prothonotary, Treasurer and a number of school directors in all three school districts: Northern Tioga, Southern Tioga and Wellsboro, as well as school director seats in Bradford County's Canton and Potter County's Galeton school districts.
County Treasurer Frank Higgins Jr. has announced he is retiring after more than a decade of service, so his seat will be open, and at least one candidate - current school board president Craig West - has announced his intention to run for the treasurer's job.
Another race that may be hot will be for a seat representing Region 3 in the Southern Tioga School District.
Board member Bob McConnell resigned in December and his seat, set to expire this year, was filled by John Martin.
Martin's appointment, however, became controversial due to questions about his eligibility because of business fines paid to the state Liquor Control Board by his business, Blossburg Beverage.
Sean Bartlett, of Richmond Township, has said he will seek the seat in November by earning a spot on the ballot during this year's May primary.
Blossburg, Elkland, Knoxville, Lawrenceville, Liberty, Mansfield, Roseville, Tioga, Wellsboro and Westfield boroughs will have mayor and council positions up for grabs.
And a judge of elections and inspector of elections also will be chosen for each of the county's 43 districts.
According to state law, the first day for prospective candidates to circulate and file nominating petitions is Feb. 19, and the last day March 12.
Nomination papers can be filed up to the close of business on March 13, and the last day for withdrawal by candidates is by the end of regular business on March 27.
The last day voters can register before the primary is April 22, and residents may apply for civilian absentee ballots until May 17.

UN/ISDR Announces Appointment of West African DRR Champion
10 June 2010: The UN International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (UN/ISDR) has announced the appointment of the Chair of the Parliamentarian Network on Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) at the National Assembly of Senegal, MP Abdou Sane, as West African DRR Champion.
The appointment was made at the Consultative Meeting for West African Parliamentarians on Disaster Risk Reduction: An Instrument for Achieving Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) by 2015, which convened from 1-2 June, in Dakar, Senegal. Sane has long advocated for DRR, including among the African Group at the Copenhagen Climate Change Conference.
At the meeting, parliamentarians examined the impact of disasters on each of the MDGs in West Africa, in the context of global trends, progress and the worldwide challenges of DRR. In order to promote initiatives resilient to disasters and climate change that impact the MDGs, they assessed what needs to be done in their respective countries and discussed what actions parliamentarians should take to exercise their oversight roles and responsibilities for achieving disaster-resilient MDGs. They agreed on a Plan for Action that will see the parliamentarians build national networks on DRR, review relevant laws, address gender and risk concerns. [UN/ISDR Press Release]

Mark J. Asher's photographs remind us that old dogs are still beautiful by Angie McKaig
Puppy photographs are easy. Everyone loves to coo over them, much like the puppies themselves. We can't help it. The smaller, the more awkward and cute, the more we love 'em. But it's harder to find love and beauty in the older dog - and that's where Mark J. Asher's new book, Old Friends, comes in.
Old Friends is a stunning new photography book filled with duotone portraits of slightly more weathered pooches (most are over age 10). They may be older, but they have a great deal of style and fun - not to mention wisdom to impart. Coupled with each photo is each pooch's longevity secrets. And from yoga and other regular exercise to companionship and belly rubs, there's a lot they can still teach us.
The photographs are nothing short of stunning. Mark has managed to capture not only the dogs' age and grace, but also their fun sides. It's a charming book that would make a welcome addition to any dog lover's coffee table.
We recently spoke Mark about the book and photographing animals.
pp: What made you decide to devote so much of your artistic time to photographing animals??
mja: My entree into the dog world and photographic inspiration came through Humphrey, my German Shepherd/chow mix. He had become a huge part of my life, having seen me through the death of a business partner, a divorce, and a career change. In the spring of 2001 I found myself out of work and I had time to explore my creative side. I picked up my camera, having previously only shot landscapes, and began to photograph Humphrey. Little did I know I was embarking on a new, deeply rewarding career path.
pp: What is your artistic background?
mja: Throughout my life I have had quite a few different creative quests, from being a copywriter for a small advertising agency to launching a humorous greeting card line to pursuing a career as a songwriter.
pp: How many years have you been photographing dogs?
mja: I photographed Humphrey in my backyard when he was a pup, but professionally I've been at it for just over two years.
pp: Have you ever done any shows? Are there other places where people can see your work?
mja: I researched the "gallery world" but I haven't pursuing it as of yet. My work is best represented by my first book, "Old Friends: Great Dogs on the Good Life" and through my website.
pp: Do you have favourite breeds to photograph?
mja: I don't have a favorite breed. I'm most interested in a dog with a great personality that brings out my creativity as a photographer.
pp: What's the most rewarding part of photographing dogs?
mja: Easily the interaction with the dogs: the smartest, most entertaining, loving creatures on earth. I also love the satisfaction of knowing that I've given the dog owner a timeless memory of their special, four-legged friend.
pp: Why did you choose to do a book on dogs (Old Friends)?
mja: My dog, Humphrey had just turned eight-years old, which is considered senior for a large breed dog. On our daily walks, we kept coming across these incredible senior pups. When the idea seeped into my consciousness, I couldn't believe - after much research - that there were no illustrated books on older dogs.
pp: How long did it take you to photograph and compile Old Friends?
mja: It took several months to put together a proof-of-concept, which contained images of nine dogs with their longevity secrets. When I got the offer from a publisher, they wanted to release the book the following fall. In order to do so, I needed to deliver the remaining images and longevity secrets to them in a two-month timeframe.
pp: Can people purchase prints of any of your photographs?
mja: Not at this time, but I'm working on it! Stay tuned to my website.
pp: Why do you think coffee table books on dogs - particularly photographic ones - have become increasingly popular?
mja: It seems that "everything dog" has become popular over the last several years. I suppose coffee table books are a natural extension of that.
pp: What plans do you have for the future? More dog books? Other products?
mja: A collection of notecards from "Old Friends" will be out in Fall, 2004. I'm also working on a new book, which will also be out next fall.
pp: Tell us a little about your dog(s).
mja: Angie, this is a tough one. Humphrey died of stomach bloat just after finishing the book. It completely tore me apart and is still difficult for me.
I'd like to take a moment to pass my condolences on to Mark on the death of Humphrey. This was a tough part of the interview for me, given how attached I am to little Merry. I cannot imagine what Mark is going through, but I am glad that he has so many permanent memories of Humphrey in his photograph collection. I'm sure all of our readers will join me in wishing Mark the best during this difficult time.
