No news on the missing painting Watermelon Door. Whenever someone asks me about the piece out of sympathy, I immediately have negative thoughts. It's the bad experience that won't go away.

A few weeks a go, Helen and I finsihed the HBO series Six Feet Under. The finale was superb, and we were on the edge of the bed intently concentrating on the ending details. Alan Ball left some mystery, especially the part where Maggie is left in the hospital room after Nates death.

The show quite possibly touches everyones life in some aspect. Death is universal, and we all deal with it differently.
