My stepdad collapsed at the gym and is possibly having a heart attack. We’re headed to the hospital now, but we’re an hour away. All the ~ma please.
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

Our wings are not tired.
My brother passed away yesterday, surrounded by his three older sisters, his wife, son, and my husband. His health has been failing, and I had reservations to come visit all of next week, while my sister Mona was going to be flying down yesterday. Brendon told me to just come with her too. We arrived and he passed within the hour. We are grateful that he waited for us.

Actual Mom has some additional testing after an inconclusive mammogram tomorrow. I know mostly it isn't, but she's come down on the wrong side of that before so vibes are requested. Thanks!

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Speaking of mothers, mine's entered the hospice stage of things. So there's that.
She's at the apartment and the home health people will be providing assistance. My hope is that we get a month or two, but who knows at this point. This year: not the best of them.

Mom passed late this morning. I miss her.

Got some good news last night! Ellery Queen is going to buy the short-story version of "Wedded Twist" I'm not sure when it will come out and stuff--it's early going, but I hope to make more of this opportunity than the similar one I got in 2010. So I guess I can apply "If I'm so great, say Yes!" to my personal life for a while. Or my political persuasion efforts.
