Yesterday was Shane's 34th

Yesterday was Shane's 34th birthday. We had a nice evening, although he's presently a little grumpy as he's quitting smoking. He quit 4 years ago, but recently started up again. He's been doing a hynosis tape he downloaded off the internet. Coincidentally his mother is off on a one week meditation. Yes. A whole week. without talking. I fear the worst for my future.

I have been purposely not watching the news as it is all too much for my soul to take. I'm not a soldier...
