------------------------------------------------- Title: Candle Date: 2022-11-23 Device: Laptop Mood: Sober ------------------------------------------------- I had a surprising phone call on Saturday. It was from the chairman at a substance abuse charity where I'm a trustee. One of the leads had suffered a brain embolism. He'd laid on the floor of his kitchen for 3 days before one of his neighbours checked on him (apparently his dog was barking). The guy is 50 years old; he's fit; he walked his dog about 10 miles a day. 7 children and 14 grandchildren. I can't stop thinking about this. --C
