We’ve got a family member in hospice right now, so we’re spending a lot of time sitting in the room with him, just hanging out.  There’s not a lot to do, so we’ve all brought a bunch of magazines and food; it’s something to do while he’s sleeping.  We figure he knows we’re there even if he doesn’t acknowledge us.

Some of my cousins brought magazines like Glamour and Cosmo and I guess my aunt is one of the few women in the country who has never flipped through these publications.  It was funny!  She starts reading the articles and blushes!  I mean full on red blushes!  She says, “can you believe what they write in this thing?!  It’s obscene!”  we just start laughing out loud.  Her daughter replied, “No, it’s just….informative”.  It was hysterical.  I mean yes, there are Katy Perry bikini pictures and Mischa Barton pictures but they’re not that bad.  It’s the articles that are, well, “educational”.  And the one photo I saw once of Miranda Kerr was informative too.  What can you say?  It’s Cosmo!  I’m not sure what she thought she was going to read about.  She does now!  Too funny.  It made an otherwise sad visit a bit lighter.
