For once, it isn't me

that needs the medical vibes.

Today, I heard from two friends in desperate straights. Both of them are on the Traveller Mailing List.

The first I know only by his nickname, General Turkoan. He has be living with ALS (Lou Gerhig's Disease) for years, and it has reached the point where he can no longer type or track his eyes well enough to read the screen. He has had to unsubscribe from the list. He will be missed, and prayers for his comfortable passing would be appreciated.

Also in need of intervention is my first publisher, Andy Lilly. He and his wife just had their second child, who is currently trying to figure out how to breath in a NICU unit in London. The doctors all say that things are going well, but Andy and Chris are understandably nervous. Healing spells for the new baby, and de-stressing for the parents would be helpful.

Now I understand how people felt when I got sick. I want to do something, but all I can do is wait and hope
