I usually don’t talk about personal stuff in my blogs…well, my opinion, sure, but little else. However, I just spent the last ten days, first reacting to a medical situation effecting my soon-to-be ninety-one-year-old mother and then springing into action with my brother, sister and amazing collection of caring cousins. Coming to grips with the reality that the force of nature known as Mom or Bubby or Aunt Dorothy would have to give up her car keys and change her independent residence for a more secure environment could have been met with many levels of resistance…but, magically was not. She is safe, feeling damn good, (as measured on the feisty/argumentative meter), and moved into new digs where she can be as gregarious or aloof as she chooses, (mostly gregarious would be my guess).

The world kept spinning while I was preoccupied. I checked in from time to time because I just can’t help myself. The Middle East is ready to explode, it’s been snowing in Texas, nothing, and I mean absolutely nothing, has been done to get people back to work and feeling productive again…but it’s Super Bowl Sunday, so let them each snacks!
