Yesterday, I received a ton of bad news. None of it impacts me directly, but by the end of the day I was pretty depressed.
- A friend's brother-in-law just committed suicide. He and his wife have a two year old daughter.
- A good friend was on a cruise with his parents and in-laws. Everything was fine until his mother suddenly became ill and died. The whole thing sounds horrible.
- A colleague needs surgery for something fixable, but potentially life-threatening if not treated
- Another colleague (and friend and mentor with whom I work on many committees) just found out his prostate cancer has metathesized.
That will teach me to send e-mails. I may stop talking to people on campus too.
