Refreshed and bedazzled

Astoundingly sunny this morning. Lovely walk, lovely run, except for the achy knee, then off to Hairdo Day for Mother. The salon was full of people, including one stylist who yaks louder than everyone else. She was going into alarmingly gory detail about her son's health crisis, which included something about debilitating headaches and lesions on his frontal lobes. He and his family of wife and three little ones live on the Big Island of Hawaii, and according to this woman, don't have access to the best of healthcare. When she started in on how much of his brain would need to be cut out, I had to get out of there. There's a travel bookstore a few storefronts south, and a new/used bookstore across the street which provided distraction from the hellish tale of brain disease.
