Finished Marian Keyes, "The Brightest Star in the Sky." Cute read about a townhouse in Dublin that is home to an odd assortment of neighbors. Their lives begin to intersect in an unusual way. Katie is a hard working music exec, Lydia is a streetwise cabbie, Jemima, an elderly psychic, and the newly weds Mark and Maeve who live on the first floor and who are suddenly in need of everyone's help. This was another one of my recent finds in the Strand bookstore in NYC. So far so good!

Today marks the 20th anniversary of my mother's passing. Strange to think that it's been so long. She left before seeing her grandchildren graduate from college, get married, have her great grandchildren, and become successful in their careers. I always hoped that we would have had a better relationship as she got older and maybe have less "whatever" it was that made her "whatever" she was.
