this week

This has not been a good week.

First my friend Lloyd's house caught on fire. In the process of doing what he could to control it, he burned his hands pretty thoroughly. Big ugly blisters. He went to the Doc who modified Lloyd's methods and his hand should heal.

This week he has had insurance people and contractors and probably a lot of people he did not know he needed to be in touch with. Oh well.

Houses you can fix, but bodies are not always fixable.

The the diagnosis of my friend David.

Not sure of all the implications, and not sure about the treatment, but at this point it looks grim. People have walked away from worse illnesses and I hope and pray he will too.

Email from a friend a couple hundred miles from here. His message was that it was going to be such a wonderful day and to enjoy it. But he lives a couple hundred miles away. Today was cool and windy and no sun at all.

Maybe perspective is good.

Maybe.
