Aunt Mildred

Tonight I got a call that my Great Aunt Mildred died this morning. She was a dear lady who had a spark and cheery way about her. I’ll sure miss her. I was thankful that I was able to see her last time I drove to CT last March—she was even driving around by herself, and I walked her to her car when she left. She looked good, though weak and a little frail, but still had her way about her.
The funeral will be next Tuesday. Uncle Richard, her husband, has problems with Alzheimer’s, so I’m not sure how / if he’ll respond to this all.

So far this week, life has been interesting in the sense that I have been working on several small projects. It’s as if I’m trying really to get things organized, not really working on any project in particular. I’ve tried out Extensis Portfolio, Canton Culumulus, and now Avid Alienbrain. There is a lot to consider, and it’s tough trying to find a solution for all your organization’s digital assetts.
Plus, we have several projects in the works, in various stages of production. From re-prints to brand new products, all in all we are looking at about 25 different projects flying around. Not all have been started, but are on the slate anyway, when we get to it. While I don’t have my fingers in all of them, some are pretty much my job. Never a dull moment.

Our sympathy to you on the loss of Great Aunt Mildred. You didn’t mention her age, so I’m going to guess 80-something. Condolences to your folks as well.

Getting organized sounds good to me. But digital files, whew; the days of throwing your docs in the outbox for the Secy to file are history. It might be time for this old dog to retire.

Aunt Mildred was, well I don’t know! I thought I had her birthday in my genealogies, but it wasn’t there.

And you may feel like retiring, but I wouldn’t suggest it at your age!

Aunt Mildred was 39, and had been the better part of my life.
