Hi Girija and friends,

Whenever someone would say, "Why me?" to my father he would reply, "Why not?" My mother would say, "God tests those He loves the most." Yet when my health-minded, girl-scout leading, philanthropically bent, devoted, grammar-perfect sister lay dying at 44, she and I concluded that her mistake was in not having any vices.

Shall we share a dash of vodka with that pot of ginger tea then? Or, for the non (Vodka) drinkers, perhaps Rick can recommend an alternative vice? Meanwhile, I'll put the kettle on...

Love, Rose
