Sunday night I kept staring at my recliner that he always sits in when he visits, and the empty chair sitting there, still and silent, somehow tormented me, as I thought I'd never see him lounging in it again, with me laughing at the hilarious things that go through his entertaining mind and fly out of his mouth.  I thought about how hollow our holidays would feel.  My wife's family is....interesting, let's say....and her brother is the only one she (we) have left of her folks in any meaningful way.  I think this took a year off of her life, and at least 6 months off of mine, but today I am happy that he's still alive, and, ostensibly, safe. 
Indeed great news MTD,best wishes sent his way and he'll get back up dust himself off and get back into the fray

That's what I thought, given the Goose Island thing.

Get a hot dog.

I don't eat much at airports - usually don't drink much

That's good.

Just waking up at your advanced age is good!

I'm sure all of us know quite a few that didn't reach our advanced age.  2 of the guys I played a lot of golf with back when I should have been studying only made it to 49 and 55.  Let alone our passed message board slacker contemporaries.

So, Happy.

Yup.  My son was 19.  Still hard to believe, doesn't make me happy, sorry, but I reflect on that vis a vis my so far longish lived life.
