What to do with the shotgun shells, the back issues of American Rifleman, and all the smoked trout? Fortunately, in Montana, there was a home for all this. The toys--esp. the truck and the tin figures--are lovely. I had to do this with my father’s estate.

I fear the airplanes will bring you, me, and Mary to the precipice of the nature v. nurture debate! To be on the safe side, I'm keeping a good selection of them. I'm very much looking forward to London. Do get in touch if you're back over here. Thanks, Tim! I fear the airplanes will bring you, me, and Mary to the precipice of the nature v. nurture debate!

The suitors will have to line up beside the bust of Dad and be assessed accordingly, of course. I failed to mention that the wooden trunk is full (I mean FULL) of stamps. Some in albums, some unsorted, still on envelopes. I have to deal with them. Eventually. As Gillian Welch says, "I wanna do right but not right now." The future of the DDD? I don't know.

I lost the broken, old, Seiko my Dad left. And now, I know it doesn't matter. Not a whit. Were I to lose even one sweet memory of him, that would be tragedy. Life is in the moment.
