Tired and Sad
Jun. 16th, 2006 03:32 pmIt's been a long day. It's beautiful and I went walking. But I'm not feeling particulary happy. I got news through ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
vatoengland that scarlatti a friend of mine from my UPA days died yesterday. She been sick for a very long time and I didn't inquire much about how things were going, both because if she didn't mention it, I figured she didn't want to talk about it, but also because I had guessed how it was going and really didn't want to know.
I had the office next to her for three years and it was nice to for a while work with someone who I had something in common with. It's weird now to think about where I was at that moment. I ran into her again here on Livejournal and found out she was a bit more interesting than I'd known. Though I kind of had a feeling that might be the case. She was just one of those really supremely nice people you meet. That probably didn't serve her all that well in life, our society isn't all that kind to nice people. The DC region even less so I think.
At the same time she was passing, I was looking through boxes in my home basement for a NIC card. We needed one and I knew I had one down there that I was never going to use again, so all the better. And I ran across a bunch of pictures from one of the UPA parties. I can't even remember if it was a birthday or wedding or going away party. I thought I should really drop her a line and offer to scan one for a laugh.
I guess not.
