Missing in Action

While I've sort of been away, it's not been for the reasons some might expect, such as, I'm diligently sticking my head in every book on strategy to finish up my very large, very important final project for school due in two weeks. To that end, I've just submitted the third of five pieces that make up the whole project so I'm well on my way.

The real reason I've been missing around these parts lately is that Jeff's dad was suddenly diagnosed with lung cancer or mesothelioma or both (there seems to be some lack of clarity) and has been in the hospital for the last week and a half. We've been with the family most of that time to handhold and figure out what is happening. Jeff came up with a great idea for his dad's family and friends who wanted to keep up with the situation and put a blog together: The Spitz Family Blog. Things are definitely dire but everyone is holding it together and we're hoping for the best. If anyone has pull with the Big People, thoughts and prayers are readily accepted.
