Shit happens

[bunrab]

So, we got a phone call from squirrel_magnet's cousin this morning. Squirrel's dad is in the hospital, lung cancer. Which there was no hint of when we were there in April. Inoperable, and at W's age, chemo is contra-indicated. Which means this is terminal. When W gets released from hospital, it will be to assisted living hospice care, as he will be on oxygen and quite weak for the duration. No estimate yet on that duration. S is flying down to Austin tomorrow; I'm staying here for now, again, duration unknown.

S will call all of you who are in Austin for support and company once he gets there. He'll also have his laptop with him.

I'll be pretty busy trying to do all the things around here that S usually does. You have my phone number if you want to call me.

Now to continue getting in touch with assorted bands to tell them change of plans for this week's rehearsals, this weekend's concerts, etc.

Gaaaah.

I'm sending positive energy to you and your family, as far as it will spread.

I lost my father to cancer. I still really feel the loss.
