My papa had a stroke. Collective prayers are appreciated. Don't know how he is, the message was on my voicemail when i got home, and everyone is asleep, now, and i don't know what hospital he is in.

Birth, death, illness, new job, vacation...if it's happening to you and you want us to know about it, post it here. These threads are intended for announcements only. Want to offer sympathy or congratulations, or talk about anything? Take it to Natter. Any natter here will be deleted.
I spoke to my dad this morning, and he said Papa will be okay, that he can move, and they took out that tube (intabate tube? i don't know. I don't watch er). He had the stroke during chanukah dinner on Sunday. No one called because no one wanted me to worry. (!)
He's in ICU. Don't know when he's going to get released. QPB lent me his cell phone this morning so I could call Boston from work and get an update, but the nurses were busy and they said to call back later. My dad is being really vague.
tripped, sliced chin open on shelves. going to e.r. for stitches,
dammit
Reporting that 4-month old niece Erin went home from the hospital Tuesday and is eating and excreting normally, so seems in fine shape. My SIL, after spending the night in children's hospital, has much more perspective on how lucky she is that it's only a kidney removed, and nothing half a tragic as most of the families there.
Off to catch up in Natter - ice storm, no power since Weds. PM, boringest snow day in history, at husband's work hoping cat does not freeze to death.
My first book review is up on the All About Romance website. There's a grammatical error in the first paragraph I need to get them to correct, but I'm still excited--it's quite the rush to have something official up being read!
I'm outta town beginning in about 10 minutes and will be mostly dark until Sunday evening. Then I'll be going out of town again from Tuesday afternoon until Thursday evening. The latter is a business trip to Atlanta. Are there any Buffistae in Atlanta?
Wooo-fucking-hoo!
I passed the second in my series of credentialling tests. Once I finish my class, then I will have my teaching certificate not only in a multisubject classroom, but also in a secondary English classroom.
Hey all. Going vaguely grayish for the next few days, as I travel from the frozen north to the, uh, frozen south.
flea has cell phone for emergencies. (She has my cell phone number, I mean, not my actual cell phone, cause [a] not mine and [b] she still several states away from me.) Will be able to check email now and then, and often enough to see/respond to that. Boy, will I be Skippy McSkimmerson when I get back, though.
Will see people and goof off. If want see me, and have no brains to plan like me, email me and we drool at each other.
Going dark for about 5 days whilst I hit Sin City. Pray for me to come back super rich so I can buy out Fox and kick some executive ass to keep Firefly on the air.
I'm also still looking for Buckeye Firefly fans to come to a party on the 20th. Come out, come out, wherever you are...email me at the profile addy.
