thanks. also thanks for writing up your thoughts on it. i barely knew her well enough to nod hello when i saw her at events, but she was one of those larger than life personalities that it's a shock to lose nevertheless. the way i feel about it syncs up with one of your earlier posts that was ridiculously evocative for me, specifically the one about how memories of things that don't seem so objectively important can nevertheless feel so rich and meaningful, even when the rational part of you looks back and asks "where the hell was the substance in THAT?!" With Anders' passing, I feel like I've lost a little bit of part of my life that was objectively unimportant, but is full of some of my most luminous and fiercely cherished memories, even if it would be impossible to explain why those memories matter so much to me (although you managed it better than I ever could )
