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

JZ, I went back twice to confirm that wasn't a fever dream you were recounting. Sweet heaven.

Nilly, I think you've expressed some pretty essential human realities there and I've marked it to look back on for years to come. Thank you.

A little bit of good news -very pregnant cousin is 72 hours symptom free and out of quarantine! She's got about three weeks to get some strength up and sort out the logistics of having a baby in the middle of a pandemic. :)

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

It's always such a blessing when you have time to throw numerous paragraphs at us, Nilly! It warms the cockles of my heart to know you are reading and maybe skimming but not skipping, so lovely.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

We just got word that he has passed. No pain. He did not wake again after Jacqueline left.

He just went to sleep, adrift on morphine until he wound down and let go.

I'm sorry the trip was so hard, JZ, but I'm glad you saw your father. Much peace to you and your family now.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Oh, I'm so sorry and also glad the very end was as OK as it could have been.

Echoing this. Hugs and/or sitting quietly by (from afar) as needed.
