Hi honey, I'm home

Hi!
We are back from Burning Man and had a lovely time and are very excited to go again next year. Lots to report, and a full writeup will likely be coming soonish.
But in the meantime... I have not had a chance to read OPW since right before we left... Say August 24th or so. I will start reading what y'all wrote and getting caught up... but if I missed anything huge while we were gone, please lemme know! :)
We are en route to my folks' house today where we'll be until Saturday morning. My mom is having knee surgery tomorrow-- she was supposed to have it done before Burning Man but when she showed up to the surgi-center the morning of her surgery, the anesthesiologist said, "I had no idea you had emphysema and AFib and COPD and all these other risk factors... I don't have the equipment to keep you alive here. We have to reschedule you so we can operate in a real hospital and not an outpatient surgi-center like this." So tomorrow's the day. I'm praying she gets the relief she's been needing, poor thing.
We then have a wedding to attend Saturday afternoon back here in DE. We fly to Arizona a few days later on Wednesday the 19th for a week to help my friend Jeff figure his life and house out since his wife (and my good friend) Debbie passed away last month... man.
I've got a bunch of work travel scheduled between now and early December, so when it rains, it pours travel-wise.
Ok, imma get crackin'.
Hope everyone's rockin' in the free-ish world.
2. Best wishes to your mom; I hope the surgery goes well, she recovers quickly, and it improves her quality of life.
3. I'm so very sorry for the loss of your friend. I know Jeff will deeply appreciate your visit.
They canceled her surgery yet again (complications during surgery prep-- see my next entry), but here's hoping for the 4th time being a charm...
2. Pretty sure that's James T. Kirk's theme song.
Sorry to hear about your friend. Someone much wiser than me once said that living is a process of accumulating scars until you die. Losing friends is one of those scarring processes, but it doesn't make it easier.
I hope your mom's mutant healing factor let's her pull through this knee surgery with aplomb.
Catch you sometime between now and next year!
