I've run up against some unexpected family and friends' departures, and I've never yet figured out how to deal with them. The homilies, my own studies and perspectives . . . somehow when your own face is pushed against that wall, you're not sure what to do.

You've just posted a useful note elsewhere, which I'll merely try to echo here, that the highlights are too white and strong. The real strength of a highlight is in its being an accent, an exciting interruption of value, rather than a tonal shape. [Actually, I'll have to give you shared credit with Jim Riley, who I now recall focused on the highlights as well. If I'm wrong about that, too, I owe everyone a dollar, or at least a plum blossom.]

Best wishes and with shared heartache,
Steven
