Concentrated Ills: It has been this way for, generations. All times, back to Rome, before Rome. We are over due for good news: a cure for cancer. Anything! Good word: entrenched.

More Time: Life is nice. count blessings, upright -- breathing -- a pain here and there okay. Death is sad - I miss them, known and unknown. Less empathy, more a rear view mirror in which things get bigger the longer you look. :D
