Volcano (Guided by Voices)

Andi has been sick since at least Jan 5, with crippling sinus pressure and a relentless cough. We said it was a good thing she wasn’t drinking, but next thing you know, this morning she develops a sharp pain that reminds her of pancreatitis, so she checks herself in and is diagnosed with precisely that. She’s been admitted to the hospital, and Deb is coming in tonight to help take care of Bruno while I travel to Mountain View, CA for an audit.

Last night, I was telling Nabs she might find herself as an adult one day asking, “how did my parents endure the grind of decades of work,” and she said she wouldn’t have to worry about it. “There will be wars, there won’t be normal jobs anymore.” I asked her how much she believed that and she said, “more than I’d like to.”
