dead in the water

Today I learned that an EI I know who has been living in an untenable situation has all the symptoms of frontal lobe brain damage mentioned in this article about people getting struck by lightning.

Two things:

1. Some people wonder if chemicals can cross the blood-brain barrier.
2. I wonder what this person is like when she isn't all screwed up.

Also, someone keeps telling me that life is not your to do list. It appears that life is how many bags you can fit in your car.
