[flea]

A woman I work with died unexpectedly Monday night, I think from an embolism or a stroke or something. Not someone I knew well or worked with closely, but I served on a committee with her. It makes me think about that very strange relationship we have with many people at work, and also, sometimes, neighbors - no real personal connection, but a sort of unthinking reliance on their existence in one's universe. And then they go, sometimes.
