Remember how MM rejoiced when I got it?  Perhaps our friend, Petem, should
think a little longer about that whole "karma" thing.

At the time I wasn't trying to help.  I treated you pretty badly.  That you
used it for good is outstanding.

The ones suffering with anxiety over it are my friends and family.  We lost my
dad earlier this year and I don't want my mother to endure more grief.
Anyway, it looks like I'll be around at least a little longer than we
thought -- maybe six months or more.

I have prescriptions for both slow and rapid release morphine.  I take the
rapid fire stuff when the pain is excessive.  The other I'm supposed to take
3x a day but I take much less so I stay awake and alert.  Besides, I can't
ride on morphine.

I believe in Jesus.  I believe in heaven and I'm secure that I'll be there.  I
sort of expect you won't have to "look up" anyone there -- just think of
someone and your together.  Time, like space, is a created thing.
