Just when you think things won't be interesting for a while...less than an hour after posting about a friend who'd been clumsy with my trust, I got a call at work saying that he'd passed out for about five minutes, was having chest pains, and was being taken to the hospital. Did I mention that I hate this year?

He's fine. Or, at least, it's not his heart. He's at a follow-up appointment right now to find out (hopefully) what the cause was, and I'm hoping it's not serious, and I'm hoping very hard that he'll start taking care of himself. The fact is that he's very much loved, despite everything.

Loki and Lex may be visiting soon - YAY! I'm told that his birthday last week sucked mightily, and I plan to help make up for that. Word is, throughout the the KoC, that Mardi Gras 2006 WILL happen, and I plan to be in New Orleans for it and the ensuing nuptuals, for sure.

Rita's currently bearing down on TX. I'm sending out prayers to the winds and water, asking for mercy for those who are painfully used to exodus, asking that the levees hold, asking that Rita's powers die down as she nears shore.
