Sad

I make no bones about sitting here crying a little. Mo Mowlam died this morning. She was without a doubt my one great heroine, everything that I personally admire . She was clever, intelligent, funny, brave, determined, resourceful and always herself. All the while she and people like her appear for a while, there remains some small hope for this benighted world.

If it seems strange to mourn the death of someone you have never known, well, what can I say? That's me. In fact, I did at one time know someone who did know her, and they thought she was a great lady, too.
