Querido amado Jim, 

 I’m all anxious about travel to France tomorrow with our Nancy. We’re doing the same canal barge trip as you and I did in 2015 — upper Loire and western Burgundy. Plus 7 nights in Paris at our perfect Le Bristol.

You and I were so good in Paris. Especially the Bach and Vivaldi concert at Notre Dame … before it burned which sent us so low. And, Le Bristol were so exceptionally kind to us. Being there without you will sharpen my grief and my love.
