I'd forgotten about Tuesday afternoons fun with my mom- we went to the cemetary, to put flowers on the graves of maternal relatives, including my Nana. Yeah. I said Nana. I'm sensitive like that. Heck. I hold her personally responsible for my bibliophilia. The bookcase I keep my important books on- PZB, CRK, DNW, HPL and others- was hers. It still has the decoupage she put on it.
Anyway... after she did the flower thing, we... um. We went looking for VC Andrews headstone. And found it. It was TACKY. It's got six of her titles, the ones she really wrote, carved into a granite book.
Stupid camera. I'll post a pic of it eventually.

Tonight was another Thursday at the Granby Theater. The Elements Quartet performed excerpts from Snapshots, including a haunting piece by Angelo Badalamenti, then after the intermission, Franz Schubert's Quartet in D Minor D.810 (Death and the Maiden).
Awesome.
(except for the a$$h%! who had to check his messages. Five rows in from the quartet. Two rows away from the festival organizer. Death is too good for those people.)
