Lunch
We had my office mate and his family over for lunch today. Myron likes to have people over, but with his current condition it isn't easy for him.There was a 2 year difference between our boys (James nearly 6 and their's nearly 4) and they still played together. It was nice to see my office mate relating to his son as I don't see that side at the office.
And the wife and I eventually got on the topic of childbirth. (how is it that women who hadn't met before can talk easily about childbirth- it must be a woman- bond thing) We talked about the complications in each of our pregnancies. We talked about birth in Africa (as her research is in that area) and how there are many needless deaths related to pregnancy simply because they don't have all the techniques we have here. It was funny how we talked about it and how pregnancy was natural and how it all could be so natural, except when something goes wrong. And my office mate chipped in "But death is natural".

Well that's a dark thought, with a lot of truth, to stop you in your tracks!
