My grandmother  

The absences are getting longer, but often they can't be helped; life has become much more difficult lately. Among the reasons for this is the recent death of my grandmother, who I wanted to mention here because she's appeared before on this blog. She was a tough cookie, and I'm confident she could have taken Will Baude to the mat given the chance for a rematch. Among other things, I will miss her stories about immigrating to the US, her constant reminders about the nutritive value of avocados, and our many games of Scrabble.

I'm sorry about your loss. The world needs all the tough, Scrabble-asskicking grannies it can get.
