I'm humbled by all the wonderful words of support - they go right to my heart!

Still working on the documentation of the loss, and working with the Amtrak police & insurance company. Hope to get coverage for maybe 2/3 of the total loss amount. But of course that doesn't replace the unique beads, some of which may never cross my path again.

Somehow the bead karma will work out, I'm sure!

As I work on the tedious required documentation, I'm trying to remain upbeat. So I'm whistling along with one of my favorite Monty Python ditties - see link below.
