Did anyone remember that on April 14th when Scarlet posted the answer to my *Me and Kate are going to lunch* grammar question - I said we would return to the topic on June 10?
To recap - the grammatical rules about *me* and *I* only cover when we are talking about subject or object - and while I have that rule very clear in my head - I'm not going to get into it. You may read about it at Scarlet's link. LINK to a grammar lesson
Putting the other person first, prior to using *I* or *me* is not a grammatical rule. And, to be honest, it seems like there have always been gradual changes - so it's time to let this go.

For the those of you who either crossed paths with Alan Blackman or recall any of the times I wrote about him on the blog - he passed away on June 6th. His niece had let people know that he had been moved to a hospice and she posted her email so that people could send messages. This is what she wrote:
Hello lovely people, thank you all for your well wishes and love for Alan. I spent all day today reading them to him and showing him the pictures. He was mostly asleep but I felt like he heard me, I know for sure he heard some of them because he responded with his expressions. I told him he was being carried on this journey on an infinite cloud of love. He waited until I left and then he left too, not a half hour later. The doc said he was completely comfortable, no distress.
All my love to you who loved him.
Lissa
If this is the first you've heard of Alan - you may do a search on the blog and see what all I have had to share about him. His envelopes were inspirational to me when I first connected with calligraphy and I credit him (along with Cheryl Adams) for my journey down the mail-art path.
