in the pines, in the pines

Rudy is doing better. He is out of the coma, and he is responsive, so it looks like he did not suffer severe brain damage. He is undergoing another surgical procedure today, and it looks like they will keep him in intensive care for another few weeks.

He's the nicest guy.

Life is a really fragile thing.

I am having a nice visit with my family.

Things are going really well, and I am seeing a lot of old friends.

I have seen Jimmy D, Husker, ELB, terry, The Eck & Mrs. Eck, T-Rex, Alison, JM, Birdy & Vaughn, P., all my old co-workers, B Squared, Curt, Kris, and tonight I will hang with the illustrious Antwaan Randle El & UJ. I might also get to see M. Diggity and his child bride.
