Jeremy: Exciting news, Mrs. D! Thad found some exposed film in the camera Dick took on his final outing! It turns out your husband photographed a bachman's warbler, one of the rarest birds in North America! The sweet irony of it, Mrs. D! The moment of Dick's demise was also a moment of extraordinary personal triumph, the culmination of his career!!! Lacey: Oh, Dick, Dick... Jeremy: I think we're looking at some major posthumous huzzahs, Mrs. D!

I saw a wren in my kitchen this morning. First one this year. Does that count for anything?

Whatever your feeling about bird watching, he had a dedication to something clean and good, and in the moment when he knew he was dying, he moved outside of himself and his mortality to accomplish the mission. Huzzah!

It would cheer me up, if I were her. Nothing can bring her loved one back but now she knows he was probably wildly happy when he died, not scared or miserable.
