My Dad died early this morning, just after midnight. Massive heart failure: always foreseen as a possibility from the stress of the unavoidable treatment for the hematoma.

Prayers for his soul and for my family are invited and appreciated. Beyond that, this will henceforth be a family matter, not a blog matter. Right below this there's a political post, and below that a religious post. Comment away. The blog goes on.
