Oh, Ian. I am so sorry to hear about your mother. I lost my mother last year, too. It hurts.
Welcome home. You’ve been missed. Don’t ever be afraid to make an appearance here. We are your friends. Lots of support here for the old timers......and the new ones.
Please ping us to your NYT times piece. I’ll swallow my pride and read it. I usually ignore the NYT, but for you, I’ll read it. Congrats.
Please keep in touch.
Sorry to hear about your loss, it seems 2009 was not the best year for many people.
Regarding the NYT.. my dad said the same thing! Our research is pretty unbiased I think, we mostly just look for the facts and report what they mean.
