Well, for those who are interested, the Deep Sea Detectives episode will air one week from Monday; July 11 on the History Channel. I'll have to find out the exact time. However that is the last thing on my mind at the moment. Right now, I'm in the Hospitality Suite at St. Joseph's hospital with my dear friends Laura, Baswell, Sanders, and his father, Alex. Sanders' mother, Sue, is in the ICU, fighting for her life. A survivor of breast cancer, her health has gradually deteriorated ever since she stopped chemotherapy ten years ago. Countless years of smoking has taken its toll, as well. She is unconscious, has congestive heart failure, and isn't going to last much longer. At this point, it's not a matter of "if", rather "when." So, I lie here on my air-mattress because there's no comfy spots for a guy who's 6'3". Everyone except Baswell and myself are fast asleep. I couldn't sleep, even on this thing, so I thought I'd do what I could to kill time. It's almost too quiet in here. I know if I don't get some rest, I'm going to be a train-wreck at Az's party tomorrow. I just hope Sue's pain is minimal. Such a sweet lady, I'll miss her when she's gone.
