  • Greatest man I've ever known is waning.....

    For the last 5 days I've been keeping vigil at my father's bedside while he's been in kidney failure. This presents a problem given the fact that he has only one kidney. I have returned home for one evening to take care of business to return tomorrow and continue my time with him. Please keep my family and my father in your thoughts. Thanks.
    Welcome to earth, my name is Tia and I'll be your tour guide for this trip.

    Exult in your existence, because that very process has blundered unwittingly on its own negation. Only a small, local negation, to be sure: only one species, and only a minority of that species; but there lies hope. [...] Stand tall, Bipedal Ape. The shark may outswim you, the cheetah outrun you, the swift outfly you, the capuchin outclimb you, the elephant outpower you, the redwood outlast you. But you have the biggest gifts of all: the gift of understanding the ruthlessly cruel process that gave us all existence [and the] gift of revulsion against its implications.
    -Richard Dawkins

              Take care of yourself and your family. Be strong for everyone, and it will reflect on others too and can help a better outcome.

              Keep us posted.

                  Ugh. So as I'm waiting for my post to be posted, I get this little auto-quote from 'Poly:

                  Very poor timing/placement
