January 30

She was told the storm was coming....She whispered back, "I am the storm."

(Note 1: The storm theme was actually inspired by real conditions. They moved her from the hospital during a flash flood. I thought my truck would stall on the freeway as I blasted through tire high puddles. There was thunder and lightning as if even nature was upset).

(Note 2: While we were at the hospital, we were pretty much given unobstructed access to Syd. The hospital was incredibly kind. There was a sign that said no more than 2 visitors at a time--Strictly enforced by security! Syd would have been happy to know that she was breaking rules on her way out. At one point, I counted 14 people in her room including a Federal judge. She was, in fact, cackling away as they recounted some some amusing tale involving federal level crime).
