9:35am Update

Just got a call--dad went to sleep just fine. They started the surgery at 9:15, and they'll keep us updated every few hours. While we're waiting, I'll take this time to comment on the amazing art collection at the University of Washington Medical Center. It's really one of the nicest collections outside of high-end galleries and museums in town. One of the greatest things Dad & Mom have passed on to us is an appreciation of visual arts, and how they can be a guide, a comfort, or sometimes even so simple as pleasing to look at. Dad mentioned that the art here was very inspiring. It will be a great encouragement for him to get up and walking soon. Posted by Martin at August 19, 2004 09:35 AM
