Highlights: Breakfast with Tommy at LG Cafe. He is off to Tucson to visit his cousin until Monday. I played with a new spin on a coffee roasting protocol with interesting results. I have yet to brew it. Jen and I went to Natural Bridges to see the Monarch Migration but it's not quite in swing yet. We will return in late November. We stopped at Wrights Station on the way home to picnic and pickup. I'm still staying clear of the stuff but enjoyed the afternoon all the same.

Insights: The evening took a southern turn as Scottie himself did the same. He could barely walk and at one point he lost control of his bowels and I thought for a moment he was dead. He has been on a gradual decline but this was extreme and very concerning. He seems stable now but is still in a bad way. I anticipate him making it through the night but I'm not sure yet about the year let alone the month. I was saying goodbye to him and meaning it. We have some challenges and difficult decisions to make. I feel inclined to approach third dory of thing from a practical and humane perspective but deep down my heart is breaking when I see him in pain and disoriented fear.
