What’s a guy to do at the hospital when he’s not trying to calm a scared child, soothe a protective mom, apologize to insulted doctors, dodge attending nurses, explain to anxious grandparents, and direct visiting guests? Why he’s admiring the hospital’s logo that’s all. I haven’t found out who designed this logo yet, but...
Read MoreUpdate: Kingston
Kingston’s now off his breathing tube and they’ve let the sedatives wear out. He’s doing well so far — he recognizes us, he calls out “Caaars” to his favorite movie, and is generally doing ok.

I might have lost a bid on a contract I really...

When these folks pass away I’ll genuinely be...
