Lightning strikes twice
It's my turn in the barrel - I've been up all night with a variant of whatever Jane has and now at dawn it's time to decide if she's well enough to fly and if I'm well enough to drive her the 150 miles to the airport in Tucson. We decide we're both up for it, dose up on Kaopectate and head out across Phoenix before rush hour and play it by ear from there.
The plan worked - we got to the airport about noon, giving me time to crash for a couple hours and Jane time to get herself gathered up to fly out at 4:45. Phew! - we made it. Happy Groundhog Day.

Playing and Learning and Loving
..There is a Byzantium, but not the one Yeats writes about. There is another country the aging occupy and which we share with children. Its borders are formed by the animal that arises in puberty and subsides with the onset of wisdom. It is a land where seven and seventy are kin. Where there are no concerns other than playing and learning and loving. The inhabitants of this land are in no hurry. Our days are dense with experiences. We have, as the Spanish say, more time than life.
