Folks, This is a note to inform you that I'll be out of touch for at least a couple of days if not more. My wife took me to the doctor Monday after a round of cookie tossing and difficulty swallowing. The doctor said it was some sort of something I've never heard of, much less trying to pronounce. He said my neck glands were the most swollen he'd seen. He said it was not strep throat but some other something. I've been given some sort of drug to take care of that, plus asked to push fluids and rest along with alternating Advil and Tynelol every 3 hours. So this is written as a 'let you know my status' while I'm up for fluids. Last night my left eye closed for the second night and after getting it open 2 or 3 times only to have it close again in 15-20 minutes I gave up and went to bed. Early this AM my right ear woke me with pain close to what a kidney stone feels like. In other words one you can not get relief from no matter what - not fun in the least. So this PM I have yet another 2 pills a day to take. 21 pills a day is no fun. I realize that I owe some of you notes, but they will have to wait until I can see more clearly than one eye allows, for while my left eye is now open, it's weak, so I'm trying to 'save' it for going to work, hopefully tomorrow unless my wife over-rules me... While I care deeply for the Project, I care for my health more. Tim

Please take care of yourself Tim. We'll survive the delay. Kathleen A.
