    So I learned today that my friend's wife (and she is my dear friend too) is hospitalized with what may be ovarian cancer. Also today, I learned that my job search was going further awry,
    As I watched the magnificent gold and green and rose Puget Sound sunset, my woes faded upon news of a lovely lady and her familiy's chilling news, and I thought of Emily Dickinson, who expressed so much in so few words: "Elysium is as far as to
    The very nearest room,If in that room a friend await Felicity or doom."

    So now, over my single malt, and in a quiet house, a job or a salary or the dreary little things of the day to day seem far, far less significant.

    This is just a thought over a Glen Morangie, and you may ignore it or do with it what you will. Just had to write something, somewhere.

    I understand. Life has gone awry for me as well, though I am in it rather being pulled out of it with a slap of perspective.

    Not so sure being around all those Greeks singing, painting and wrestling nude, would be better than being around those who love you, and those you love.
    The sun will rise today and the birds will sing.
