Don’t quote me on it, though. This is Brannagh’s Hamlet, from the ’90s, he’s a bit of a ham, but it’s quite a stunning adaptation — although, note that it is faithful, and thus something like eight hours long (take a break!).

I haven’t seen this adaptation of the play for a while; perhaps a second viewing is overdue.

I have her almost exclusively on a PV (“personal vaporizer” — electronic cigarette) now; health risks with that are the same as chewing Nicorette gum; namely, negligible. I smoke one almost exclusively myself, down to just a few cigarettes every day. Take care. And, as always, sorry if I’ve seemed grumpy the past few times I’ve seen you — the whole messup losing the Wellesley house didn’t sit well with me. Thanks so much for your help in the move, though, and please thank Dana for me, you guys did *so* much and we really appreciate it (plus finding those photos — I *never* could have found those albums for her). Take care, Lizzie! Don’t be a stranger. We’re always around.

Yeah, I’m sorry she dropped it on you like a bomb — she thought your mom had told you already. I’ve looked up the survival rates (5 years out) and we look like we’re in pretty good shape. Have gotten her a bunch of homeopathic stuff she can use in conjunction with whatever hardcore treatment she goes through. Mainly trying to keep everyone’s attitude right (positive) and focused on just the next step (don’t bite off more than you can chew, don’t think into the future and worry about stuff that you have no control over). I’ll post updates on here and I’ll send you updates through email. If you want to come down, absolutely, do so, she’d *love* to see you (so would I!) and she’s healthy enough to go out for lunch (just bear with her with the walking and whatnot). My best to Kevin, your little ones, Carrie, and Dana! Again, will try to keep you updated — take care! Much love from the “strange one” in the family. ;-)

Feel awesome, too, LOL.

As soon as I get down to my goal weight and my hair cut I’ll put on some nice clothes and get a snapshot taken. LOL.
