I woke up this morning thinking that it would be an uneventful day, but 7 hours from now I'll be on a flight to Los Angeles. A dear friend is bottoming out after encountering a perfect storm of unemployment, marital problems and excessive drinking, so I'm flying out there, seeing my kids and grandson for an hour or two and then driving him and his car 1400 miles back to my house. It feels a little like adopting a 53-year-old child, but I know that he would be dead or in jail 2 months from now if left to his old devices. Hopefully I can get him to turn things around.
Eek. Good on yer, and good luck.
Make sure he doesn't have access to guns please

WOW!... what a great bloke you are. Altruistic, generous, compassionate, heroic...and so on. Is that the kind of thing you were after?
Oh rwayne. Were you trying to be pleasantly teasing? Are we the subject of an in-depth study that you're working on in which you deconstruct interactions from a postmodernist perspective? Do you genuinely get pleasure from spending time amongst people you hold in contempt? So many questions...
