my grandpa

is very very ill.
he has been having a lot of increased problems over the last year.
he had a pacemaker installed this week, but his throat is half-paralyzed and he is mostly not eating.
please keep him (and us) in your prayers/meditations/whatever.

i will be going to chicago over the weekend of the 30th to see him.

dear cats

to leto, madeleine and savil,

i know that we are doing things you have never seen before and that the stuff we are using smells interesting.
however, please cease and desist from your attempts to "help" with the drywalling.

thanks,

mom & dad
