I guess I don’t know where to post thing and maybe I don’t want to burden people with it. I had an email today telling me that a good 'net friend of mine died this morning.

Apart from raising a glass to the memory of Katherine Andrea Boonstra-Curran, I can’t thing of anything else to do.

So maybe I’ll get quietly drunk over her loss.

Sorry to hear it.

I know how close net friends can be and how hard it is to explain it to others.

I lost a dear net-friend of mine, last year, too. Very, very sad over your loss. My sympathies, **Felonious**.
