hmmm ... my post from a few days ago seems to have disappeared? or maybe never made it??

Kendall - I wish you the best in getting a voice back. I miss your up-front wit, in those busy gatherings ... I know the wit is still there but it only gets a chance to pop out in those moments when the room is quiet enough for your whisper to grab the floor!

... of course, we better be careful what we wish for! We may be sorry to have you back in full form ... er, ah voice!
