I was at a campground near Morinville, Alberta having attended a wedding the day prior of my cousin. I woke with no phone and no cable or did not turn the radio on either. I went into town to my sisters in-laws home where we were meeting prior to going to brunch (her family and ours) She told me "Diana is Dead"... I was in shock, I said "Princess Diana?" (since we did not both know of any other Diana) and she confirmed it... I asked for details and was in disbelief. She and I both had felt for Diana in reading all the tabs of her marriage and poor family life with the Royals. We were amongst those that felt the loss as though it was someone we'd known.

I had just arrived back from an overnight canoe trip on the Rappahonock with my great pal, R. It had been almost a year and half since I had split up, after 13 years, with my ex. It was the first time I had ever lived by myself in my life. I was still a bit numb, a bit scared, a bit going out too much every night of the week. Hmmm.
