Ted’s mumbly and dadbly have headed back to Fairbanks, as Gary is doing just fine. We’re all very glad of it. :) Pretty weird, that you can have heart surgery via an incision in the hip. Jai and Emily and I saw The Upside of Anger last night, and enjoyed it very much. I’d intended to do a double-header and go see The Interpreter, too, but the website seemed to indicate that such a thing wasn’t possible. Upon arriving at the theatre, it proved to be, so fnrt. Anyway, I’m…

Murphy…

…and a damned good thing, too! I am Karrin Murphy. I head up one of the most thankless jobs in Law Enforcement. Half the department thinks I’m just crazy. The other’s simply convinced I’m dangerous. They all think I’m due for an early retirement. And they’ve all been wrong longer than they’d like. It’s my job to protect the people who can’t protect themselves. I’m never one of them. Me and the boys in Special Investigations stand between the rest of Chicago and the darkness, armed only with our guns…

changes

Everybody should now be able to read the main page at mizkit.com.

As a coworker of mine used to say, “It’s as if, if your television show was filmed using a Sony camera, it can’t be watched on a Panasonic TV.” The artwork to the left there is Chance, from the comic book I’d like to…

flat as a pancake

I feel flat as a pancake. Gary ought to be home this morning, so that’s good. Ted was reading all the comments last night and said, “You have nice friends,” to me, so thank you all for the good wishes and good thoughts. Very much appreciated. We have pictures of Gary’s heart, now. It’s sort of like magic! Our neighbors have put their house on the market for $219K. We’re waiting with fascination to see if it sells at that, because it’s identical to ours, except they have much less…

Well.

Well. Ted’s dad’s gone in for angioplasty this morning. He woke up about ten days ago with chest pains, which proved not to be a heart attack (thank goodness), and Fairbanks had to send them down here because they don’t have a cardiac unit up there (buh), and yesterday at the hospital here they determined that the back artery to his heart is 99% blocked. So they’re fixing that today. o.O 10:20am, ETA: Gary’s out of surgery and it went perfectly. Yay!
