"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." --C.S. Lewis

Apologies from Max

I am sorry for slacking a bit on the blog but I have a gravely ill family member in ICU right now and her prognosis is, frankly, bleak. She is not going to make it. In any case, we've got our hands full right now--back later.

Update: No substantive change--it's a vigil.

[The hospital is a curious place after it's been locked-down for the evening--very curious--glad they have this internet thingy to keep me company].

Update 2: Because of our situation, I've been reading alot about cancer--from everything I can gather, there has been very little accomplished in the way of medical 'breakthroughs' on the disease since the 70s! VERY early detection is the key folks...before you can 'feel it'.

Had a checkup lately?

Update 3: She's a very tough customer, the Reaper must be re-evaluating his strategy because whatever he's been doing it ain't working.
