I saw one of my fellow medical school friends on television, an advertisement for help with traumatic brain injury, information about PseudoBulbar Affect. Here: https://www.pbafacts.com/

I am glad that he's working on traumatic brain injury. There is a lot of it around. I haven't seen him in person since 1996.

Je Suis Charlie

Hard to think of cartooning as playing with death. Writing as playing with death. That words or drawings can make people so threatened, so angry, that they kill. But that is the reality.

I got a call from the friend I visited in August: her husband died Sunday of his lung cancer. I am glad that I visited. I am sad, too. She sounds so tired. I remember how that feels.
