So, I disappeared from blogtopia* for a while. Might be back now, might not, really. It’s hard to say. We’ve been going through a pretty traumatic time and it turns out some things can’t be shared. Not even in the intimacy of the internets. Anyway, it’s not all mine to share. I can say that [...]

Mortality checks
Mr. Yenta’s father did pass away as it seemed he might. We got down to Florida just in time. Mr. Yenta, his brother and sister-in-law and I flew down together, picked Mom up and rushed over to the hospital to say good-bye – sort of. No one’s sure if he knew we were there, [...]

Back on the life-cycle
We’ll be gone for a few days. My father-in-law is in the process of dying and we’re heading to Florida this afternoon. On the one hand, this totally sucks. The world won’t be as good a place without him. On the other hand, he’s 90. His mind has been as sharp as ever the whole [...]

Not so fast
Well, I did go back to work today, but tomorrow’s up in the air. I got home this evening to find that Mr. Yenta had not had an especially good day. He’s cold and he’s weak and tired. He could be getting sick or his blood could be just a little too thin. In any [...]

Back to work tomorrow
Well, Mr. Yenta is allowed to drive now. His blood count is much improved and while he’ll still be going to the doctor a couple of times a week for a while he can be left to fend for himself now. It hasn’t exactly been a vacation, but it has been two weeks since I’ve [...]

Suffolk and Nassau counties accounted for 33 percent of subprime loans that were made in 2006 in New York State and that are now in foreclosure, according to a report to be released Friday by the Empire Justice Center, a nonprofit law firm that advocates for low-income [...]
