First of all, let me say a small, sweet, sad goodbye to another heroine of mine taken by breast cancer. Molly Ivins is what I've always aspired to as a writer -- piquant, wise, sharp and worldly.

Molly, sweetheart, I always wanted to meet you.
Now, if I'm lucky, I'll just have to wait until I wander into the right bar in the afterlife.
You a Scrabble fan?

I'll miss you terribly, and try to stand up to your razor standard...
