Gone

This week started with our wedding anniversary.  My daughter, Phoebe, made us a chocolate espresso mousse cake (twice... the first one collapsed).

In the end it was awesome... And meant we had a frightening amount of chocolate cake in the house!

Then Tuesday afternoon we learned that Russ Dubisch, my father-in law had suffered a fatal heart attack.

He was a genius. He worked at NASA in the space program, and was a physics professor at Sienna College for years and years. Then came the brain eating monster we call Alzheimers.... Watching him leave piece by piece has been terrible. He is missed.
