I just printed out the entire thread for Peter up to this point. It came to 32 pages, and that's in 12-point type with all the subject headers removed! Thanks to everyone who posted, prayed, joked, heal-hauled and otherwise kept CR in their thoughts--AND let him know about it.

The chantey man is resting comfortably, as they say, at his mother's abode. She, however, does not have internet. So anyone who wishes to send a message can PM me or leave a missive on this thread. Better yet, PM for his phone number if you're within phone call range. Even better, a Bay Area 'catter with a laptop containing Airport or another wireless chip might take pity and let him have a look. It can beam in on the neighbor's wireless.
