Jim's Pond - Exploring the Universe of Ideas

"Beware when the great God lets loose a thinker on this planet. Then all things are at risk. It is as when a conflagration has broken out in a great city, and no man knows what is safe, or where it will end." --Ralph Waldo Emerson

Putting Life into Proper Perspective

Mikey called last night. His wife, Gail, was diagnosed with cancer yesterday.

Gail's family has a history of cancer. Her mother and sister both died from complications. Neither made it to her 50th birthday. Gail is a bit past that 40 mark.

No prognosis yet.

This puts my recent case of burnout into perspective.......
