So this thing
wasapaperweight?
Yes.

:16:32
It was a present I gave her
for Valentine's Day.

:16:34
Got to weigh half a pound,
and it was squarely--
I mean squarely--

:16:38
on the bedside table
when I went to sleep.

:16:41
So what are you saying?
:16:45
I don't know.
:16:47
Nothing, I guess.
Just that...

:16:50
dragonflies were sort of
her thing, you know,
like a personal totem.

:16:53
How Indians have buffalo heads
or tiger heads or hawks...

:16:57
hers was a dragonfly.
:17:01
She even had this small
birthmark on her shoulder
that kind of looked like one.

:17:05
Said her grandfather
had one too...

:17:07
on his--
on his butt, I think.

:17:10
It's called
familial hemangioma.

:17:14
I once skunked
an entire graduating class...

:17:16
by putting it
on a final exam.

:17:21
When she was alive,
I had to scour for
anything I could find...

:17:24
with a dragonfly on it
to buy her a present.

:17:27
Now? Now I see 'em
everywhere.

:17:32
There was one-- There was
one bouncing against
my office window yesterday.

:17:36
A real one.
:17:39
Last night a package arrived.
She had bought
over the Internet...

:17:41
a mobile to put on
the baby's crib...

:17:43
of dragonflies.
:17:46
And then this thing last night
with the paperweight.

:17:50
You know what I think?
:17:53
I think you are literally
going buggy living
in that house.

:17:57
Yeah, you should move.
You're rummaging around
in an empty nursery.
