Hope things go well with the music J, I remember your posting not long ago about a vacation, and it might be just the thing to do right now. Also hope things go well with your mother.
I've taken my uncle to the hospital twice in the past 2 weeks. They don't know what's wrong yet, just that he has advanced emphysema and all his joints are inflamed. He couldn't push the button on the door of my Jeep, I had to open it from inside, he almost fell down the steps going back in and stumbles a lot. He had a leg amputated years ago as a result of polio at age 2, he tried for years and finally found a doctor that agreed it needed to go. He has been much better off since, and you can't tell by watching him walk that he has an artificial leg, no limp at all.
I'm not sure what will happen, he and I have been making a meager living doing carpenter work the past 3 years, this shut the work down entirely. Mostly trim work and some remodeling, but in addition to that this area is dead, no work at all, especially after the local paper mill closed and dumped 500 people into the job market. Right now if I had the money I'd jump in the Jeep and go somewhere else...

If you see me running, better catch up!
