closer to home

hey, would you look at that?  i finally published my letter.  it took forever, because as it turns out, it's harder writing to someone i know than someone i don't. 

for those of you not in the know ... lynda is a dear friend i work with.  she is funny and kind and generous beyond words.  she's the only person i know who takes vacations to volunteer.  (she also takes vacations with her girlfriends where they do nothing but drink wine and well, i don't know what else ... she had me at 'drink wine.')

not long ago, she went to haiti for a week.  she will never be the same, i imagine.  and i intend to learn why.
