My grandmother just passed away. We had our parish priest baptise her the other day, so that's good. She was agnostic her whole life, as far as I know. Her birthday was tomorrow, how weird. Say a prayer for her soul and our family.

I had a nice long post written out, and blogger ate it. So. To summarize.

Very bored, eating a lot, not playing as much poker as I'd like but have been doing ok, I bought a sweet new laptop, and have otherwise been wasting my time in various unproductive pursuits.

My grandmother made it home to us, but suffered another stroke a few weeks ago. The doctor in the intensive care attempted a sort of passive euthenasia without consulting us, by removing her feeding tube, and we only found out several days after he did this. We had her removed to a private nursing facility. She doesn't seem aware of much, and is living off artificial support. Say a prayer for our family.

Unless something happens, I'll be flying back to LA on January 6th.
