Get Out Of Here, Black Cloud

That black cloud is hanging over a lot of dear friends again.  One friend is in ICU after having emergency surgery for a twisted bowel.  When she is strong enough, she will have her pacemaker removed so she can get an MRI because they discovered she has a fracture in her spine.  Another friend is waiting biopsy and other test results after being diagnosed with brain cancer.  Another friend's mother died a week ago; his father died less than a year ago.  I could go on but I'll stop now.
