Dear Kansas City

Dear Kansas City, my mother is in hospital. An operation. I’m a little busy right now. And distracted.

So maybe you could go easy on the abusive and threatening phonecalls.

If you don’t then by god I promise you I have the huevos to react; I’ll publish your life story and I’ll do it in your own words - all 13 books of it.

One more call. One more word.

Update - And so it begins: Index to posts in the Nobody’s Child series

For the people who are actually hard working, selfless and honest - I’ll keep posting away on Kansas City with the St Patrick’s Day stuff. I’m hoping to get the Guide out late tonight after a hospital visit. Every hour I don’t I lose money. Feel free to send me details of your Paddy’s Day event and I’ll include it.

This entry was posted on Wednesday, March 5th, 2008 at 8:05 am and is filed under St Patrick's Day. You can follow responses via my RSS 2.0 feed. You can leave a response or trackback from your site.

    …sending out good thoughts and/or prayers for your Mom. Whichever you prefer.

  2. TheKCGuy responds: March 5th, 2008 at 9:10 am

    Sorry to hear about your mother. If you need someone to “babysit” your phone friend for a little while, please let me know.

    Also, I look forward to the Guide!

    Adding your mom & family on the prayer list.
    Hugs.

  4. martha responds: March 5th, 2008 at 2:22 pm

    I hope your mom does well with the surgery, and that everything works out OK. Thinking of you and yours with concern.
    Love from Arkansas,
    Martha

  5. Cricket responds: March 5th, 2008 at 11:31 pm

    Hope all goes well with your mom’s surgery. I will be thinking of you.

    Ta, everyone.

  7. sassywho responds: March 6th, 2008 at 5:18 pm

    wishing you and yours well and good vibes.

  8. eolai responds: March 10th, 2008 at 7:29 pm

    Thanks all. The patient is now recovering.

  9. Maureen responds: March 10th, 2008 at 10:33 pm

    Prayers for you and yours! Here’s to continued recovery. Be sure to take care of you, too.

  10. eolai responds: March 15th, 2008 at 3:29 am

    Thank you everybody - after several delays the patient is finally coming out tomorrow.

  11. Primal Sneeze responds: March 15th, 2008 at 4:53 am

    Good to hear, Eolaí. Ours is out on Tuesday.

    Better out than in - though not in the usual sense - the shorter the stay, the less chance of MRSA of C. diff. infection.
