Today I sat and watched Charlie breathe, slowly and regularly, for about 40 minutes. Occasionally he twitched a little or shifted position -- he seems to like curling his left leg up around his right elbow, and you can see his thigh rise and fall with each breath. (He also likes to bend his left arm to put a kink in his IV and ring an alarm, but that's not so cute.)
Then we went out to the diner with the good thick french fries and had a couple of cheeseburgers, and to a bookstore where I got one book on PHP and another on mysticism by an old colleague. And the skies are blue.
