· Corinne Wood just called. The former lt. governor and state rep. asked me to tell everyone who’ve sent cards, letters, flowers, etc. during her latest battle with cancer that she really appreciated “their well-wishes and their support and their prayers.” Wood said she has “great doctors doing some cutting edge treatments.” Her voice sounded very strong and she was in good spirits. We’re all pulling for you, Corinne.
· My pal Rob Winchester lives in Jerome. His house was damaged in Sunday’s tornado (although, thankfully, not as badly damaged as he originally thought). “I would thank you and everyone for any prayers and well wishes,” he writes. You’ve got it, Rob.
· The tornado tore the heck out of Jerome, and the Jerome Prophet Blog has been down ever since. I sent JP an e-mail yesterday and he wrote back today. He’s back to work, thankful that he and his family (and everyone else) are alive and well, but still has no power and doesn’t think he’ll be blogging in the very near future. Send him some love.
Be very kind in comments, please.
UPDATE: Marie at Disarranging Mine thankfully came through OK, too.

FMI: To what address would one send a card to Corinne Wood?

Check the State Board of Elections website for the ‘02 Republican primary. It has the address.

It’s news like this that really shows how pointless some of the political nonsense is that we debate here on a daily basis. Glad to hear Wood is doing well, and that people weren’t killed in Jerome.

Glad to hear that Corinne has pulled through. I’m also glad that no one was seriously injured in the Springfield area this past weekend.
I’ve been staying away from the hardest hit areas in Springfield - but I wound up taking a detour from South Grand East on the way to the Hitting Center on Dirksen Parkway yesterday. I understand why Mayor Davlin described the devastation as Katrina.
I hate to plug this - but I will.
The Abraham Lincoln Council Boy Scouts of America is having a Food Drive this Saturday.

Wood impressed me post-primary by being nice when she did not have to be. God bless her with a speedy recovery.
