We have reached the age at which friends and acquaintances regularly have lost us. You know the circle of friends of your friends and you keep each other informed when someone falls away again. That can be short messages, and sometimes the punctuation is also included. For example, we received an app from our girlfriend that K. died. “Has the funeral been already?” My wife asked. The answer immediately came: “No, Thursday as.”
