oooh, postcards! If I can find that number for the spaceship.... Thinking of you and your mom, and family. So glad that Mr. Salsa is such a great guy. If he has any single friends in the Chi-town area....

Hang in there. Sometimes it's moment by moment, sometimes it stretches out and you get some relief. Wishing your mom all the best. Keep us posted.

My mom had a health scare a few years ago; I saw the whole world seem to change in a few moments.

SK and CWR, you guys, too.

Today my mom emailed me and my sibs (younger bro and sis) that she's going to retire at the end of the year. I'm happy for her, but also worried. She hasn't done any retirement planning. My sister's going to talk to her about it on a long drive they have coming up. Tonight I thought, "Well, between the three of us, we can take care of her." It was sort of comforting.

Earthquakes, eh? Everybody OK? Good.

To bed. Sleep tight, TD.
