to tell me that her mom, Judy., my half-sister (she's in her early 60's, from my father's first marriage; my niece is a year younger than I am), had been walking across an intersection at a green light and a car just plowed into her. She suffered massive brain damage and has had hours of brain surgery. She recognizes people and she's going

Wow. Was syour niece calling to deliver this news, or to wish you a happy birthday? Here in Santa Monica I offer warm thought to your half-sister. If she's at St. John's, I can see her from my office window.

I also offer warm birthday wishes to you. Please let us know what the family does for you on your special day.

Thinking of you...

She was calling to deliver the news--I doubt she was thinking about my birthday, although we did have some laughs about things we did as teens. Thank you for the warm thoughts for Judy

While I was writing that post to you, my cat, Jack, woke up from a nap and starting meowing frantically. I don't know if she had a bad dream or what, but she needed some serious petting and chin scratching. Now she's apparently forgotten the whole thing and is licking herself. Oh, to be a cat. A pampered cat.

So if my post was disjointed, blame Jack Sparrow.

Many thanks for the vibes for Judy.

I hope all these vibes flying across country are augmenting each other and the next 30 days improve for those who need it most.
