Update

Thanks to everyone for all the kind words and thoughts. Amy's up and around a little bit, no longer hooked up to any tubes, taking percoset every few hours. I hit the Chinese take-out across the street from the hospital for dinner, and the broccoli in garlic sauce was excellent.

Hopefully, Amy will be feeling well enough to come home tomorrow. I'd feel a lot more comfortable leaving town Sunday if she were at home and I didn't have to worry about her being discharged from the hospital.

On Sunday (barring complications) I'll be leaving to go to China for a week and half. I'll do what I can to honor last-minute souvenir requests, but I'll probably be online only sporadically on the trip. I will update when I can, however, and bring back lots of pictures.

Winning the war against terrorism

Am I the only person who thinks that somebody has their priorities a little out of whack when taking a Coke on board an airplane is a terrorist act, but bringing radioactive and lethal Polonium-210 on board is apparently okay?

Because I love each and every one of you,

I'm going to allow you to see this.
