Is Joemikeb still recuperating? Any news?

He was still alive and kickin' a few hours before your post, anyway.

Thanks for asking JoBoy. I am alive and kicking but with two additional fusions of the cervical vertebrate I am even more stiff necked than I was before. The doctors have not cleared me to drive yet, and my long suffering wife of 54 years has to drive me anywhere and everywhere I need to go. It is truthful to say she is far more in need of sympathy than I am.

That's all good news! Congratulations!

Yes, good news!

I think, in marital terms, that "It is truthful to say she is far more in need of sympathy than I am" is what is called "The Right Stuff". Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

How very nice it is to learn you are on the mend and all is again, right with the world. And how very nice it is that your wife is able to drive you about.

As a consequence of my recent cataract surgery, my wife also serves as chauffeur. That her driving may prompt a heart attack is another story...
