Sad news from the homefront--one of my cats, Grace, died today. She was 15 and one of the sweetest souls I've ever known. As long as she could nestle up against somebody--person, cat, dog--she was happy and the world was at peace. I took this picture of her the day I left for India. The amorphous black beneath her is my dog Bubba, who has a bit of a weight problem. She was his constant companion. We'll all miss her.
