Summer Themes

Sometimes a certain time of life seems to have a theme associated with it. This summer there have been two themes.

For some people in my sphere it's been the "summer of healthcare". People around me have gotten sick, had surgeries, had accidents and generally been to more doctors than usual. For me, this has driven home the conclusion that is always true, but easy to ignore most of the time; people are fragile, much more fragile than I care to think about most days. I hope I don't forget this. BTW, to everyone who is still recuperating, please get well soon.

In addition to the "summer of healthcare" it's also been the "summer of let's stay at Tim's house". I think I've had guests in my house since June. I guess I never shouldn't have started the double miles promotion for guests staying in my guest bedroom. Lucky for me, the people who have stayed have been very self sufficient, very helpful and fun to be around.
