Last night, right before Allentown Central Catholic was about to take on Stroudsburg in boys' basketball, I received a disturbing call that Dat's grandmother had been rear-ended on Route 191. I was asked to get her at the hospital and left right away. I dropped John Bryant off in Nazareth, then did an about face for the hospital. I'm still there.
Turns out she has a broken nose and broken ribs, and since they are the upper ribs, they want to keep her overnight. They are concerned the rib might have nicked her lungs. She is in considerable pain, as anyone who has suffered a cracked rib can attest.
By the time they find a room, she may be healed and I may be dead from old age. I can't really post any of my usual stories until I return to the bunker, and when that happens, I'll probably want to sleep. So no additional stories today.
Class dismissed!

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
