Well, We're about outta here, Angus and I. My neighbor is out of town, so I really don't have anyone to look out for him, but what the hell.He always was pretty good on a road trip.

When I spoke to Dad on Wednesday he said that since Ma went off the meds, she seems to have improved. There's more color in her tone and she's more alert. He's hopeful for good news, but I'll wait and see what happens. Then again, we thought she was dying a little over a year ago, so who knows?

Thanks to everyone for the well wishes, both public and private. It's appreciated.

There's no computer where I'm going, so I probably won't be around until next week. Try to have some shit flying when I get back, eh?
