Ever since I've been in GP, bad things happen when I leave town.
While on our latest vacation (as in, yesterday), I received word that my organist is in the hospital with heart disease and may or may not require surgery. Either way, hard decisions are needing to be made.
Today I received a call from the daughter of occasional parishioners. Her mother is in a Portland-area hospital on life support. We may be making a hospital visitation on the way home tomorrow.
What is it with people around here when I leave town?
Last year one of our youth was in the hospital with a brain tumor.
Before that a parishioner died.
Before that, a parishioner died.
I can't ever leave.

A Few Words About Comments
Comments are always welcome here, but there are a few things you should know:
1) If you comment, leave a name. If you can't figure out how to log in or register or whatever the system is making you do (which, believe me, I fully understand how frustrating that can be) and you must comment anonymously . . . leave a name in the comment section. Purely anonymous comments will be deleted.
2) Comments I deem to be offensive, irrelevant, or generally trollish will be deleted. I'm mainly talking to the Akurians here. Don't make me get out my flag!
3) If you would like to receive e-mail notification of other comments so you can more easily follow a conversation (yeah, like I ever have those on this blog), you must register with Blogger. Sorry . . . I didn't have anything to do with that one.
Enjoy the game.

I know what you mean. For a long time, whenever we were out of town or I was in the hospital somebody would get sick or die.
At one time we had a family in a very messy situation, and it was obvious to everybody that Granny really was ready to Go Home. I was discussing this situation with my closest friend, and she said, quite seriously, "Do us all a favor. Get out of town."
It worked.
