I'm in a hotel between Tucson and Lubbock (Las Cruces). Going to see an uncle in the hospital. I'll help out my aunt, and then be able to give my mom (my uncles twin sister) a firsthand update. My wife suggested I should go after she talked to my mom this weekend and found out he was in the hospital. He is a great guy, but his health has been collapsing for about twenty years, especially the last 10. Anything heart, diabetes, circulation, or weight related, he's got. On top of that, he went blind for practical purposes after a heart surgery about ten years ago, and has become a bit of a snippy codger. Always had a biting sense of humor, now it is sometime almost mean, but I know he doesn't mean it....

More info than you needed, but it felt good to write it....

And I causght the chihuahua joke, just adding to the festivities, a bit ineptly!
