All politics aside for a moment, Sara of F-Words, a longtime friend of this blog, underwent brain surgery yesterday. Apparently, it went well, and Sara is recovering, along with the support of her partner, who's been providing us all with updates. Head over to her place to offer good wishes and, if you can, a couple bucks to defray the costs of all this travel for her and her family. Sara's too young, and too good, to be going through all this.
