The lovely Nina and I will be away for a week. The Jewish Museum of the City of Vienna has mounted an exhibit featuring three artists who fled Vienna as the Nazis took over, and one of the three — the only one surviving — is my mother-in-law Lily, who has lived in New York City since the outbreak of the war. We are escorting her back to Vienna for the opening (and to visit with our daughter, who lives there with her young family).
Lily will be ninety-eight in a few days. She is blind now, and terribly frail, and this will surely be her last trip.
I’m not taking a computer. It will be good to disconnect.

A fine thing to do! Travel safe.
Fare well.
Hope you at least have a diary Malcolm, where you can commemorate this pivotal event in your inimical prose.
Forgive me: inimitable!
Ha! Forgiven.
Thanks, all.
How wonderful! I enjoyed learning about her from your links. May the Lord bless this trip for her, and for all of your family.
