Gentle Readers, as you know, The Mama's health has not been good. Daughter #2 and Son #1, bless them, have been staying with her the past week, after she got out from the hospital (again). Daughter #1 and her partner also headed there for a few days. Bless them, too.
Monday night, they fly home to Colorado...and I fly to Michigan to take my turn. Hopefully in time our combined help will enable The Mama be able to stay in her own home. She'll need a care taker now and then. That's doable.
Unfortunately, this means I have to ditch my responsibilities at home, or leave them to the Brick. He will stay here and take care of the dogs. Neither of us wants this -- but it's important to go. The Mama needs me, and the Brick can look after things here.
I'll keep you posted.

Richard Lamm died last month. This ex-Colorado governor had many things to say and do...many of them quite different from the norm. He was 85 -- apparently that didn't apply to him personally when, back in 2009, he announced that "we [old people[ have a duty to die and get out of the way." (More on this in my book Colorado Curiosities, if you're...well, curious.)
