It was by accident that I use that letter. How fitting for me that it be Kafka-esque however.

Well, it seems that this day is as horrific for you as it is for me. On that exact same day (November 22, 1963) my father died of a massive coronary. One of my best friends from age 4 was born on November 22. She died in a car accident at age 16. This is a day that is too horrible for words. Wish we could skip from November 21 to November 23.
