While I too have concern for Skarpi, I have more concern for what he holds dear and for his heart to bear it. Because Skarpi, as we here know, is one of the finest people on earth.

And that means that he will be a beacon of light for others around him, a strong, flexible tower of cheer, buckling down and leading others to buckle down to take care of each other. Why, the Skarpi I have seen around THIS place can damn near bring all the Icelandic people over here to Mudcat in PERSON for a Gathering, until things clear up.

So Skarpi, remember to trust your gut. Keep your eyes open for the blessings, and do not forget to take a rest from the troubles often enough to keep your mind focused in the right direction.
