You know, it's easy to get everyone riled up. Post an article on "President Bush is the worse President in history" and, BAMM you go from moderate to nut case in four paragraphs. Kinda fun, though.

I know this posting will recieve few comments, and that's ok. I'm thinking out loud. Today, after six days in the hospital, my partner comes home, perhaps.

I could have lost him.

Jesus, how can that be? How can someone go from healthy to hurt in just a few days? I started this blog last week when I was bored and he was moaning in bed, (as I thought) hand on brow, being a total pussy. Geeze, I was pissed; a beautiful weekend went into the crapper because of a head cold. Suck it up, baby! Let's get out in the ocean.

Of course, that head cold turned out to be serious. By Wednesday, a doctor was telling me he could die.

So there I was, looking at a different set of facts than I had a few moments ago. Everything I knew to be true changed with a few sentences.

He could die. This was no head cold.

I can't imagine what it must be like to face this type of thing everyday. Whether you are a doctor, President, a CEO, whatever -- to constantly think you might have the wrong information, and everything you know as true could be wrong, must make you feel like the guys in Men In Black.

This thing has taught me something: I don't know half of what I think I know, and the other half is wrong.

Let's hope in the coming year, I can keep an open mind, look for new information, and change my plan of attack as needed. Let's hope our leaders, Republican and Democrat, can do the same thing.
