Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Plei, I'm so sorry. Much love to you.

Tim goes to the hospital at 6 am tomorrow to get a port installed (implanted? whatever) for the upcoming chemo treatment. I have to set my alarm for 5 am, so I am going to bed right now.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

to get a port installed

I don't remember if I gave this advice before, but he might need some padding for the shoulder strap part of the seat belt in the car afterwards.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Hugs and love, Plei. Rest when you can. Be kind to yourself.

So sorry Plei.

I am typing to you from Seoul! Just made it to the place about 36 hours after I left home. Though admittedly that includes sleeping about 7 hours ish in a hotel at DFW. I am zonked but trying to stay awake at least a little later since it’s only 6pm here and I don’t want to wake up at 3am.
