How did the talk go, Molly? Or did you already tell us, and I missed it?

I hope that Jeff+ is not dead: he was fine ten months ago, but even young people can't count on having a tomorrow, much less ten more months.  I think Jeff+ has left the Lists for longer than ten months and then come back.  He used to leave for Lent and then stay off for much longer than Lent lasted, then resub.  Anyway, my nightmare was set like a "thriller", using the visual of the man in that snapshot from 2011 that his granddaughter posted on his FaceBook page. DREAM He got into something violent and got himself murdered. DREAM  It was not a good dream, and it woke me up.  When you carry hostility and grudges from long ago, you may make the evil you wish _happen_ in some space, like my dreams.

>> I like you, Allan, always have, even when I got mad at you and said things that I should have *restrained*.  I pray for you every time that I pray the Anglican List Prayer Summary.  But that doesn't mean that you don't have flaws, like this continually simmering anger you seem to bear, and malicious acts like telling the folks here that Jeff+ said angry things about them way back when, when he shouldn't have done, likely to stir up anger at him from them in the now.
