I just got a reply from Monroe & Mary, he felt good enough to write back and
sounds like he is hangin' in.
Seems they lost their "furry & feathered" friends, which makes them both a
bit sadder than might have been, but as he says
"Being alive means that the glass is definitely more than half full-keep the
good thoughts coming our way-we need 'em.
Lovingly,

monroe and mary/miranda"

Dang it, why the hell does NC have to be so fur from OR?
