A Reminder
I talked to the Nevinator last night about the future of the remnants of LanguageCalls, his day job plans moving forward, and what I see lying ahead for The Carrot Project. Nevin's an unusual guy, but I'm glad to know him and have him in the carrot project orbit.
Overwhelmed by the document clutter on my desktop, a had a scan a few minutes ago for things I could delete or drop into folders. I found a note titled Andrew Nevin Jan 13. Given last night's call, I opened it up.
There were a couple of questions in there, a couple of ideas Andrew had given me back in January, and a two line dialogue I'd wanted not to forget.
Jake: What are you gonna do tomorrow? Mimi: Get into as much trouble as I can.
Mimi died five days later.
Hard for me to imagine a better granny.

And hard for me to imagine a more characteristic joke. Mimi was funny right through the morphine, right down to the very end. It made things so much easier, knowing that she was still having fun.
Great to come across a little something like that. I'm glad I wrote it down, glad I left it on my cluttered desktop, and glad the conversation with Nevin last night led me back to it today.
