Sorry...light posts for another couple of daysMy mom and I are still here in LA with our friends. It seems every day
brings another small catastrophe when you're dealing with cancer. And
they add up! My friend is doing okay, but his wife is having a hard
time. She is unbelievably worried and on edge. I want to help them both
as much as I can. 11:45:40 PM | We see illness as being abnormal, but I keep trying to do my zen meditations to remind myself that ill health is actually normal and part of the human experience. As Thich Nhat Hanh says, "When we get older, we know it!" I'm trying to switch my ticket and stay here for another week. My friends really need the help right now. They're going through such a rough time. It helps just to have someone to run errands, cook, clean the house, etc. Seeing that I'm not working right now, and I don't have a doggie to take care of at home, I'm in the perfect position to stick around a while and help out. I don't know if American will let me switch the ticket. I'm going to call tomorrow morning. Meanwhile, this has got me thinking about a lot. If I have a chance, I'll write about it soon. All you Big Brass Alliance bloggers, keep up the pressure! I'm sorry I can't join you right now. I just don't have the time.

Knock, knock. There's still a war on.So I thought the war in Afghanistan was already over. Didn't you? Apparently it's not: 11:38:49 PM | Three
months of bloodshed across the south and east has left hundreds dead
and sparked fears that the Afghan war is widening, rather than winding
down. U.S. and Afghan officials warn things could get worse ahead of
landmark parliamentary elections scheduled for September.
No wonder S hasn't been able to call much (we did talk for a few minutes this morning). Someone needs to knock on Bush's door and let him know there's still a war on. Our president really ought to know!
