Nora Ephron has passed away

Nora Ephron

Nora Ephron, celebrated writer, director, wife and mother has died at the age of 71. She leaves behind a legacy of films, including one of my favourites, Silkwood, for which she co-wrote the screenplay.

It was a terrible shock to learn about her death last night, because I didn’t know that she was sick. Apparently she had been battling acute myeloid leukemia for the past six years.

I can go on and on about how much she meant to me, but it would seem trivial and selfish to try. All I know is that I will miss her work, and the grace in which she conducted it.

Much love to her, and all she brought to this crazy world.

  2. I wanted to comment on your most recent post. I missed pride weekend in Minneapolis. We saw part of the parade in Santiago and it was one of the biggest turnouts in years! Awesome. I also wanted to say that I used to have that shirt with the pig and the bouquet asking you not to eat him. Adorable ;)
