Sadly you are in for a few more trip related posts before I slip back to my normal “blast from the past” posts like Roop calls it. She also passes on the Brilliante Weblog Award which I am thoroughly grateful for. There are plenty of people I want to pass it on but that […]
“Brevity is the soul of wit” said Polonious in Hamlet.
The reason I am waxing eloquent this morning is that the phone rang at the unearthly hour of 4:30 AM penetrating the layers of sleep I lay blissfully under. Realizing the phone was ringing, in the few seconds that it took me to reach the phone, […]
K and I drove with a friend to visit a colleague who was in the hospital after something he ate did not agree with him. While the details of what exactly is wrong with him are murky, seeing him pale and tired in the hospital bed drove home the point how much we take our […]
