The little things are going to be the hardest

[jducoeur]

I just went to my Facebook page, and realized another little trauma that I'll have to deal with eventually. I've been putting off removing my wedding ring -- I'll have to eventually (maybe after the Memorial Service), but that's *hard*. And now I realize that someday I'm going to have to change my FB Relationship Status to "single". I'm honestly unsure which of those is going to be more difficult. There are dangers in being sensitive to symbolism, and both of these are powerful symbols -- one very classic, one very modern.

(I *am* still having a broadly good week. But the little notes of melancholy still lurk around the edges...)

While you're mentioning the little things, here's one I noticed - your waks@comcast.net account has the profile name "Jane & Mark Waks." Besides the obvious reasons to change it, it has thrown me off now and again as it shows up in my gmail box as simply "Jane." I thought you'd want to know.

Yeah, that's been pointed out before. Another not-easy one to change, although I'll have to do so sometime in the near future...
