To Brother Hawthorne.

Dear Brother Hawthorne, You've admitted to me that you occasionally check out my blog, so, for tonight, I hope you're reading, feeling well, of course, bolstered by pharmaceuticals ... Ohhh... but WAIT! You're a Hawthorne. You don't take pain pills, do you? You Nancy, you! Even after invasive surgery. Laparoscopic as it may have been. Sister-In-Law Hawthorne - My thoughts are with you at this most difficult of times. Are blog thank-you notes enough these days? Can you send an email as a thank you note? I need to check up on my netiquette. I am sorry if a blog entry is not enough. Being brought up in the Hawthorne Household, we were formed to not mention the unmentionables ... someone in the hospital, someone sick, someone having an illness, someone dying - and Dog forbid you actually referenced the Damn Elephant In The Room. So, Dear Brother Hawthorne, I wish you well. I wish you a speedy recovery, and I'm sure you can understand the confusion which accompanies this half-assed wish-you-well message. Best to you, Buddy-ol'-Pal, From Pal-0l'-Buddy.
