re: #313 Decatur Deb

I’ve got be less subtle.

Sorry, but I just found out night before last that my mother (from whom I’ve been estranged for many years) died on March 31, so subtlety is pretty much gonna be lost on me till I finish grappling with all the old emotional baggage and my feelings on her passing.

Our relationship was lost decades ago, but she was still my mother. Now all opportunities for many kind of simple reconciliation or closure are lost.

Humans are contentious and stubborn and stupid and prideful, Israelis & Palestinians (and Americans) included. We ALL need to do better because NONE of us are getting out of here alive.
