Family Emergency

I got a call to go to Emergency this morning and spent the day and evening in ICU. I will be returning there tomorrow morning.

I don’t anticipate doing anything more here until next week. I have dozens of news tips currently in my inbox I simply won’t be able to get to. I have also turned off comments on this post because I won’t be available to moderate them. Please hold off on further tips and correspondence until my return.

12/16 UPDATE

My dear mother passed this afternoon.

It will be late next week before I am back.
