I blogged for a while mysel...Congratulations, Ann! I blogged for a while myself, although not on a daily basis. I got burned out about three years ago and let it slide, so I know what goes into doing it so prolifically.<br /><br />OT, but since there hasn't been a cafe thread lately, I'll share this story here.<br /><br />We have a citrus packing house here locally that ships Indian River fruit around the country. Their signature fruit is the honeybell tangelo, a cross between a grapefruit and a tangerine that is large, sweet and juicy. They are only available in January, although they have a package that sends honeybell marmalade before Christmas and then a box of honeybells in January. I send these Honeybell Express packages to all of my friends and family Up North as a Christmas present.<br /><br />Anyway, on Saturday morning, I got an email from my friend Barbara in Chicago:<br /><br /><i>Hi Clyde,<br /><br />My sister Julie, in Sarasota. called yesterday to tell us that her sister-in-law passed away after her 2 -year fight with cancer. Cathy was the first of the 6 S------ kids. Julie's husband is 2 years younger. So Julie & her family are driving up this weekend for the funeral. <br /><br />From time to time, my sister Gail (the nurse) would drive to the south side of Chicago to help care for Cathy. Gail was there Thursday, the day before Cathy died. She brought Cathy one of the honeybells. She peeled it and fed each segment to Cathy. Gail told me that Cathy really enjoyed the orange and said. "This is how an orange should taste".<br /><br />I just wanted you to know and to thank you. One of her last earthly pleasures was that delicious Florida sweetness.</i><br /><br />Well, that hit me like a ton of bricks. I was very sad about the death of a woman I'd never even met, but glad that even in the most indirect way, I'd helped to bring some light to her last days. It just goes to show that we don't always know that positive effects we can have on other people, even indirectly.Clydehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16736461252925227611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-37966302322112661362013-01-14T19:47:29.569-06:002013-01-14T19:47:29.569-06:00Professor,
