    Laird O'the Cowcaddens is Doon

    My friend, Biran, aka the Laird o'the Cowcaddens has been pretty well under the weather for a while. He was even being considered for a heart transplant, a subject I know a lot about.

    His wife wrote me today to let me know that he had a heart attack on Wednesday, and I think it must be fairly serious. She said that she would keep me posted.

    I hope you will all keep Brian in your prayers. This veteran of the Highland Regiments (can't remember which one) seems fine man who has become a good friend. We've swapped a few horror stories about our respective ticker problems; being a transplant recipient myself, I've travelled his road a time or two, and I know that both he and his wife, Penny, can use your prayers.

    Grace and peace be with you all.
