As I write, my friend Tim Robertson should be going from surgery to recovery. His right kidney is being prepared to transplant to his son Nate. This is happening in Orange, California. Tim is a friend not because we have regular contact, but because we worked together in Jackson, Mississippi, more than 25 years ago. Our paths cross only occasionally, but I place a high value on my connection to the Robertson family.

I’m sure this will be the best Christmas ever for Tim and his family.
