Good Morning. I was awake early this morning, around 3:30 am, and in came an email Birthday Greeting from Mary Jane.
(Mary Jane Murphy was a long time associate at Chubb who worked for me for almost 20 years. She is now a VP at what was Merrill Lynch working in their stock plan sales area. She was a wonderful friend and over the years was very close to me and my family. I was sorry to see her leave...careerwise she has done extremely well. Her personal life has been saddened by the recent passing of her second other and her mother. I believe she is back at work and that she has made significant progress in putting her world back together. She and Gean had been together for years and she was as much a part of his dive shop in Flemmington as he was in her life. There has been way too much sadness surrounding death in our lives this past year. I guess we are just entering that level where death is not a stranger.)
It was great hearing from her. Today is my 66th birthday. It is supposed to be a quiet day. The only task anticipated is a visit to DeCell's Christmas Tree Farm, just down the road from us, to get our tree. Today is supposed to be clear and in the high 30's or low 40's so we should do it before the weekend and before winter sets in. So far we haven't had winter. I was up early and watched Good Morning America - first half hour or so. Not much - just more on Tiger Wood's untimely affair and more on the Washington couple who crashed Obama's recent State Dinner. Fixed myself some fried eggs with ham and a roll and have been reading a great biography of Ben Franklin,
