      Sorry for your friends loss, Griff, and your impending loss as well. Also, guiding your own kids through understanding their Grammie's death won't be easy, but I think you'll be well suited to the task. Kids are tough, designed to bounce back. We just have to minimize the scarring they take in the process.

      On the subject of community, I think it's dying do to the loss of neighborliness. People don't get to know their neighbors the way they used to. A side effect, I think, of diversity and mobility. If we do meet our neighbors we often have nothing in common and in one of us will probably move in the next few years anyway.
      That's why I think things like the Cellar have sprung up. To fill some of the void left by lowered interpersonal contacts in the real world. Just my opinion I guess.
