“Oh, who would walk the stony roads of Merlin's time?
And keep the watch along the borderline.

And who would hear the legends passed in song and rhyme?
Upon the shepherd pipes of Merlin’s time.”


― Al Stewart, Indian Summer, “Merlin’s Time”

Personal Commentary/Observation
So my father was back in the hospital again - more issues after a fall he took last week. No, nothing got broken or cracked - just some digestive issues (probably due to the shock to the body.) I hate to say it, but he has had so many things going wrong, all age-related, that I will not be surprised if he passes sometime this year. I hope not, but his health has been steadily deteriorating over the past couple of years and he's halfway across the country from me. He's still ambulatory and he has his scooter, but I can tell how frustrating this has become. His mind is still sharp, but the body can't keep up with it. I hope he waits until I retire ... so he can see his eldest has made it.
