…She was looking for her pocketbook when Roz took the phone. I've been angry for twenty-four hours at a person I'll never find. Not that he tried to steal. That he said "Grandma" to her in a voice she wanted to believe, and for a minute she had a grandson in trouble, and she was scared for him.

Russ is coming for Thanksgiving. Tammy sent the flights. Five days.
I've been composing what I'll say to him since Tuesday. Most of the drafts aren't kind. The one I'll use is, "Spend a morning with her and Roz. Then tell me what you think we ought to do." Because I'd like to hear it. I've been deciding everything by myself for three years and eleven months.
Cool this morning, first…
