Hospitals..
I've been visiting a lot of hospitals lately.
I'm not really a big fan of hospitals; their cold, antiseptic
environment makes my skin crawl. The smell of iodine makes me ill,
but that is just a psychological reaction.
The first one was last month when my grandmother had a stroke. She was
left partially paralyzed, and unable to eat or speak. She passed away
peacefully in her sleep on a dreary rainy afternoon.
Sandy's aunt is now in the hospital. Sandy's in Toronto visiting
Anne Hart, and I'll go visit Eloise. The doctors think she has
pneumonia, which is not a good thing to have when you're in your 80's.

Alfalfa dreams
It's 5:50AM, I've just woken up from a dream I haven't had for years.
It's summertime. My father and I are driving through the countryside,
somewhere in Alberta. The landscape is covered with fields of Alfalfa,
their green stalks waving hypnotically in the gentle breeze.
It's a warm happy dream.
