Stopping for Death
Posted 6:00 AM by Gerald So
Inspired by Emily Dickinson, I intend this entry title to be accepting, not blunt. My brother and I are going to a nurse cousin's wake this afternoon. Her husband, a dentist, had a heart transplant a year or two ago, and somewhere in that time looking after him and their daughters, she was diagnosed with cancer and, like my mother, needed a pleural catheter at the end.
As bad as I feel for my cousins' loss, I know death is also something of a relief. Cancer ravages the body. It doesn't get the spirit. I mean the soul for believers, but I also mean one's personality in life, what everyone remembers.

Economic Blackout
Posted 3:30 AM by Gerald So
I participated in the February 28 Economic Blackout, not only refraining from buying anything, but also not watching YouTube (Google) and Prime Video.
Apparently the blackout had mixed results, but I joined to practice even more restraint than the usual not making much, not spending much. I don't know if I'll be able to join further actions, so I gladly did this one.
