Yesterday, I got to see Virgil, and he returns all greetings. The drive was uneventful both directions. We played Scrabble – or I guess I should start saying we played with a Scrabble set, because the object of our playing was not to win but to use all the letters, which requires cooperation.

She refused to abandon her baby for 17 days. Later that season, scientists and locals watched helplessly as the malnourished four-year-old juvenile known as Scarlet (J50) slowly starved and eventually disappeared, never to resurface.
