Who, What, When.

I haven't spoken in a few days on my friend Janice, who had a kidney removed earlier this month as part of killing off a renal carcinoma in her. A week or so later, she was, and remains, back in hospital after a bout of ilietis turned out to be a presage of an aggressive expansion of the cancer into her intestinal tract. Jan's close-to-90-year-old father arrived at her bedside yesterday, and prayer vigils of different intensities began all over the northeast today, leading to the most beloved news possible this afternoon: Jan had farted. We'll take that, both as a sign of the passing of the blockage necessary to an additional removal operation, but also as a sign of the presence of God in her life now that she needs Him most.

We just finished yet another of the Random Clearfield Library Gems™ that I picked up last week, without benefit of any review or other clue of how good it was. This one, translated as What To Do In Case of Fire, was a sweet and touching German film about some 80's anarchists thrust into an 00's criminal investigation of their past misdeeds.  Funny, suspenseful, serious stuff.

It can't be the end of Sunday. Or the end of the month. Not yet. Not now.  Oh, okay, it is. They are. Gnight. G'yeartodate.

As someone also struggling with kidney issues (albeit nowhere near the severity), I wish your friend well.
