I am Consumed

I am so caught up in Skip's seizure, wound, surgery, hospitalization and imminent transfer to rehab that it's easy to forget the rest of the world is moving along. I see the Red Sox missed out on a couple of great free agent pitchers. The financial markets seem to be holding up well at year-end. Obama is following his predecessor in a misguided troop expansion in Afghanistan (at least, I assume it's misguided, I haven't paid enough attention to really know). Christmas tree lights are up all over and other folks are worried about completing their Christmas shopping, wrapping gifts and getting their family visits firmed up.

Someday I'll lift my head up to look around at the rest of the world, but right now, dealing with the overwhelming health issues (oh, and trying to get my paying job done) are about all, in fact more than, I can handle right now.

[end of whine, but still overwhelmed]

That's okay, the world will still be full of scandal, busy and interesting when you find the time to look.

Yeah, you lost the Doc, but we are glad he's with the Phillies, away from the ALE!

Herrad - thanks so much for giving me the award.

L - yes, if we don't have Halliday on the team, at least we don't have to face him as he'll be off in the NL. MW told me last night the Red Sox signed Mike Cameron (in addition to Lackey, who I did know about). I'm pretty happy about that.
