I read a couple of articles today and both mentioned that the mind works backwards. I know that I need a destination in mind if I’m ever going to reach it, but it’s easy to forget some days. Some days I can only focus on 5:00 o’clock or ticking off a TO DO from my [...]

We got a call Sunday that Loretta was in the hospital and they didn’t think she was going pull through. We went to Albuquerque and straight to the hospital, arriving at about midnight. Loretta was unconscientious, but she didn’t seem to be in pain or uncomfortable. Alan & K stayed with her all night and [...]
