Oh boy.

So my two uncles on my mother's side -- the ones I'm only just now are getting to know -- are both in the hospital.

One, Ken, had a bitch of a heart attack the other day. It did irreparable damage. At this point, the most they can do is keep him comfortable and try to prevent any future ones ... because they said the next one will take him out. I asked how he was doing and my mother informed me that he's 'bummed.'

... in his position, I'd be a bit more than bummed. But ... I dunno, more power to him in this situation, I guess ...

The other, Wayne, isn't hurt or anything. His current wife just had her baby. I got a txt message at about 5 in the AM saying 'My room number is such-and-such.' I didn't recognise the number offhand because there was no name attached to it, but I know there are some people at A-Kon this weekend and I thought maybe it was a misfire with hotel room info. So I called to let them know.

'This is your UNCLE WAYNE, DORK. I just had my BABY and I'm at the hospital.'

Which is a good thing, definitely, and I will go and see the little critter, but ... huh. I've decided I'm not gonna attempt that leap in logic. Before that, though, the Greek Festival is this weekend and I want Greek-like food. If you have been ... dork.
