Hi Cats,

Thanks again for all the well wishes. I do appreciate it very much. I do have a bit of good news in that most of the neurological ailments I suffered are gone or at least better. I have some feeling in my big toe and stomach again. So, all the crap I went through last week is mostly history. The bad news is that my vision continues to get worse and no one seems to know why it’s happening. I haven’t given up yet, but it’s nearing time to make some tough decisions. Thank you all for everything you have given me over the years.

On a more cheerful note I went to a meeting of the NCWCCC, this month hosted at Otter's place. She and her other were gracious enough to host a cookout for us starving artists. We didn't get much business done, but we did have a great time, very casual. It was especially eventful for me as two worlds came together as Chelsea acommpanied me and mckenzee and Mike to the cookout. I'm sure she got a geek overload, but I know it won't kill her. ;) Thanks to Mike for driving.
