My husband came in a little while ago (he’s a musician & had a gig–that explains why this post is going up at this hour of the morning). Just after he finished his gig, he and his bass player (who is also a good family friend–my kids call him “Uncle Lee”) were tearing down their gear, when his friend suddenly stopped and said “I feel like I’m going to collapse,” and then he did.

Lee was taken to the hospital. My husband is on his way there. Lee’s condition is not good. As I was typing this post, another friend called to se if Tim was on his way, and told me that it appears that Lee has had a stroke.

Lee is a wonderful man. Please send some positive vibe this way.

Thanks.

Oh, dear. If the good wishes of a hellbound atheist are of any use, he’s got 'em.
