Weirdest Dream lately :
I dreamed I was on the "other side" when my Dad was passing. I spoke to him and made sure he was okay. Then I woke, and knew he was gone. 30 minutes later, we got the call from the hospital saying that his blood pressure had crashed in the last 30 minutes.
Currently working on :
A BTVS related story called "Long Goodbye" which deals with a member of the Watchers Council being vamped as part of an experiment.
Also completing my nanowrimo effort.
A blog for that outspoken and aggressive member of the Buffy Bulletin Board.

Cancer treatment update
My Dad started his cancer treatment today. Chemo for 3 hours and radiation treatment for 15 minutes. The radiation is to be administered daily, the chemo weekly. He takes some pills to prevent him getting sick, and he's to drink a lot of fluids. (That pleased him. 3 pints of Guinness were on the way.) The Hospital provided transport this morning and my mother was provided with full meals while waiting. Now we just have to see how the treatment goes.
Today, Barry Sheene, legendary motor biker of the 70's lost his battle against throat cancer. He's survived by a wife and two children. While I admired the man greatly, and my sympathies go to his family, Barry chose not to go the chemo route, and rely instead on "alternative" treatment. You know my thoughts on "alternative" medicine, so I won't repeat them here. Let me just finish by saying Barry was a great risk taker, both on and off the track.
