Very rough few days.

A mentor of mine who is in their mid 90's had a rough past few weeks. Amazing the strength and charm of the true old south in this person who through all of it manages to show the best in the human condition. They had surgery this past weekend and appear to be recovering well.

As for the younger set on here, respect the games but respect those older than you that you may at times forget to check in with. Call your parents, grandparents, or others over 65 and remind them of your feelings towards them as some day it will be too late to do so and the regrets are a terrible thing to carry with you.
