Got a phone call tonight from 's folks. Turns out the docs found a spot on his dad's lung – he's going in for surgery to remove half a lung(!) on Friday. It may be malignant. This is not good.

I'm reading one of the paperbacks we picked up at the Half-Price tent sale the other day. Every few pages I get this (not overpowering but not faint either) whiff of patchouli. Ugh – how can women wear that crap?? It's overwhelming and just smells bad. Bleh.
