I look more rad than Lutheranism

Last night, a friend who called after I was home from the hospital and got to hear the whole saga suggested that Grandpa might be more settled if he had something familiar from home, since his dementia is so advanced that he has no idea where he is. I was thinking maybe a blanket or something.

So I told mom, who passed the idea along to caretaker!aunt, who thinks it's a good idea and is taking a photo that Grandpa really likes of he and Grandma. I hope it helps, even a little.

Mom also told me that if it were her in the hospital, she would have asked for a yard gnome.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Brenda, the thing was HUGE. It was MechaPossum huge.

Well, Tep, if your Mom is ever in the hospital post nose-reconstruction you now know what to do. How many people can say that?

I e-mailed her back immediately and said almost exactly that -- "When you're in the hospital for your new nose, I'll bring you a yard gnome and a picture of your favorite child (that would be the dog)."

She e-mailed back and said "Just bring the dog."

The hivemind, she is a strange and beautiful place, no?

If only we could harness the power of the hivemind and take over the world....

We are far too lazy as a people. We're all-knowing couch potatoes.

So my BigBoss just came over to give me the little goodbye speech, which was very nice and I just wish I hadn't been too exhausted to appreciate, along with a card, which was also nice.

...and contained a $100 Barnes & Noble gift card. Scuse me, I think I've just developed allergies to all this paper...

Oh. I think I may actually be ill. That'll mess with my clearing out my desk and getting ready to go. Huh.
