Hey, thanks:) It's new because most everyone I've known who's passed away thus far has been an elderly relative.

Yeah, I was shocked to learn about the hospitals too, because it's not like no one every gets sick or has a life-threatening accident after 4:30 pm or on Sundays. But that's Japan for you.

And thanks for the thoughts. I am here, but I've been crappy about commenting recently. I'm gonna be better from now on, I swear. (And you in the back, stop laughing!)
