9 PM - Got to dad at about 8:30, left home at 5:40. Traffic, traffic, and more traffic. Just met with the speech therapist along with dad. Listened as dad spoke to his friend Esther about a female doing a bris.

10:30 PM - Just got to brother's house a few minutes ago. I brought my netbook and my laptop and havve them both charging. My brother said it's a good idea to have a back up computer for the live feed just like they had back up videos recorded when he proposed to my sister in law at Shea Stadium. The rehab place where dad is also has a rec room with computers in it. I think, please G-d, we're good on the computer front. There's 3 days, 12 hours and 49 minutes till the wedding will be live streaming, please G-d.

11:20 PM - Been acclimating. It's a nice space to be in, a different feel than my apartment.  Maybe meshaneh makom meshaneh mazal for the best. 

It's been an interesting time since the Shabbos after Shavuot when my dad had an unfortunate (more fortunate than it could have been, thank G-d) fall.  Thankfully we're past the ICU and the surgery and the hospital.  But it's still a thing.  I've been trying my best to be here for dad as best as possible.  It's been a bit trying in relation to my job and my life.  Still, I love my dad so much and am ever grateful to him for giving me life in many ways, many times. Again. Again.

11:49 PM - Answering emails and and and.

11:55 and beyond

I can rhyme anytime

even when I'm tired

because I'm wired

Don't we all 

have a call

in our head 

that keeps us from bed

that keeps us loose

our creative juice? 

Sometime it pays to not laugh or weep

 but simply to go to sleep

I have to break away 

happens every day

but I really must 

show a little trust  

My next line you may guess

good night and G-d bless.
