outside/inside

[sjowall1452]

I bought Bob a late Christmas present--a tiny
Japanese box of bone, with two tightly closing compartments.,
upper and lower.. The smooth outside is delicately decorated
with a few butterflies, and a flowering plant..
The inside, very white, has a rough, bone-like texture.

We couldn't really think of anything to put in it, though.
After he died, rather

I didn't expect to find out this way.

I hope his going was gentle, and I hope you're doing okay.

Have you talked to Mom?

Only once--she had a sore throat at the time (since Bob's death), so we couldn't talk much. will call her tomorrow..
I did call her the morning after the night he died...

Please give me your e-mail address. Is your work at UC Berkeley as interesting as it sounded?

He died of acute resperatory failure; we listened to Mahler's 8th symphony the night before.
