Just got back from seeing a friend at the hospital-BUMMER
He's got terminal spinal cancer. I've know him for over 30 years-we used to work together at the Armadillo, were housemates, and at one time traded girlfriends. He's had 3 surgeries in the last year and each time they thought they got it and then a couple of months later there's a new one. Needless to say, his wife is totally frazzled. He's come to grips with it but I know no one else has.

1. I'm sorry hobbit
That's sad. If it's ok I'll say a few prayers for him and his family.

3. No problem, he'll accept them.
Right now he's dictating his memoirs. Since among other things he's an actor, singer and musician he said the title is going to be "Ham On A Role"

4. I'm glad he's doing that. It sounds like he's led
quite a life. This must be difficult for you too. :hug:
