The memorial service went off quite well; everyone stayed on task and on time, the speakers were set up (with my suggestion) so that everyone could hear Ambassador mumbles mumble through spanish, and the clock the committee chose for a memorial looked fine

I think positive denial, where I've set up residence, is realistic, too. Because a lot of what I'm denying is my own quick assumptions. George Saunder's has an amazing story, "Puppy," about the harm well-intentioned, no-nothing assumptions can do: http://www.newyorker.com/fiction/features/2007/05/28/070528fi_fiction_saunders?currentPage=all.

And really, the likelihood of their being a carjack at the exact intersection where there was a carjack is almost nil. Carjacks are randomly located, damn them. I've lived in Detroit, south side of Chicago, the Mission when that meant something, the Bronx, Harlem, and Bedstuy, but was carjacked only in a nice northern neighborhood of Chicago.

I'm glad the curtain is working!
