pretty quiet week so far. incidentally, next week is election week in most of the US, so don't forget to vote on November 7th (and vote early if you can--my ballot just has to be dropped off)

No clue what you're into, and the links in the "reading" folder of my bookmarks are all dead, but grabbed links to a few collections of long articles. Haven't vetted them myself.

& a couple of youtube channels which go in depth and which are long & calming.

Should have some direct links to articles come the morning. Here's hoping you have some good news by then.

The news is an asthma diagnosis, which will be very manageable now that we know about it. He should be home day after tomorrow; it's a shame he'll miss Halloween, though.

So glad it is going to be manageable.

First time I heard of asthma, it was the kid brother of my friend and he had to go to hospital a lot but that was back in the early 80s. Then I went to a new school and seemingly everyone had asthma, so I imagined they'd all be having emergencies.

Accidentally landed on your profile when trying to reply & happy to see that Violent Femmes quote :)

Safe home. As for Hallowe'en, think you've had the scariest of all time!
