[OM] Dead mother

My mother died Monday night.  She was 87.  Her death was not unexpected.  
Actually, it was almost welcomed, considering the condition she had declined 
into in just over three years.  I made a flying trip from Atlanta to Knoxville 
yesterday (190 miles in 2 hours and 45 minutes -- I have a 170 MPH sports car, 
a radar detector, and a get-out-of-jail-free card).  I'm back home today, 
arranging transportation for grandchildren, et al, who want to go up tomorrow 
to say good-bye to Gram.  I was handling this quite well, as is the family 
tradition, but I'm somewhat surprised to realize I've been a bit hyper today, 
and a little more weird than usual.  Please excuse the redundant posts.  Just 
trying to keep the feeble brain occupied, I suppose.

Save your condolences.  They were appropriate for the loss of a 10-year-old, 
and I would've added one, but I just couldn't come up with the right words.  My 
mother lived a full life and it was her time.  I hope to go as peacefully -- 
unless I manage to be shot naked and fleeing across a dewy lawn by a jealous 
husband.

I'll get back to y'all later, either about the meaning of life or whether or 
not a T-thing can be used on an E-thing.

Walt, starting to miss Mom
