Note: many of you enjoyed Ed Foster's work over the years; I thought  
that I'd pass this on for those who aren't on his mailing list

I apologize for the length of time since the last newsletter. The  
first week after a loved one dies is an extremely hectic one(who  
knew?). We had to plan the memorial service, find a venue, meet and  
visit relatives and so on. As for the second week, well, I couldn't do  
much of anything. I mostly sat around and watched Tv, read books,  
moved some furniture, and watched some tv(did I mention that?). I'm  
definitely not over it. it's the first thing I think about in the  
morning, and the last thing I think about before I go to bed. It  
occupies my thoughts throughout the middle of the day as well. I'm not  
sure I'll ever stop thinking in this way. I'm also not sure whether I  
want to.

What I wanted to tell everyone was that the outpouring of support  
through comments and emails was amazing. There was no better testament  
to my dad's work then those comments. They made a lot of people who  
knew him feel just a tiny bit better. 20 or so of my family's  
favorites where read aloud at the memorial service. We could all wish  
such a sendoff when it's our turn to go.

In the end, what I wanted to say, was thank you. Thank you for showing  
me that my father meant something to so many people. Thank you for  
showing me that this thing he started has to go on, and thank you for  
giving me the courage not to give up on it. I will have a post up  
later today dealing with what I think needs to happen to let the  
Gripelog continue. I'm going to need help. So please, drop me a line  
at [EMAIL PROTECTED] with your ideas, or comment in the story <a
