This crew of arcane idiots was and is forever my crew, Charley! I wouldn't try the ArCaine Mutuny on you all now. Hell, I didn't think myself worthy of 550 some posts, but "hail, yeah, the gang's all here!". Not to mention all the cards and letters (WOW!). Alas, the horse-spittle sent a few late ones back.....

So thanks to you all with special shout outs to Chance & Suzette, my sisters Emily Thomas and Kate Savage and my cousin Kathie Mack (assisted by Steve La Roque) , mudcat stalwarts like Lisa Null, Emma B and wincingdevil, friends from since high school days like Steve St. John and George Matheos and a few others like Dottie Hurley, Elizabeth St. John and Ross Sutton, for books, music, Diabetic-worthy food to augment what they tried at times to feed me, rides and relay of messages when I was flat on my back and one-handed.

I still can't drive and have limited use of my left arm, which will take a bit of therapy. hopefully, I'll be in shape to fly to my daughter's college graduation in Columbus OH on May 16.

Back on my heals with my best foot forward,
Severn

Lucky not only to have you all there, but to have had the pleasure of knowing many of you in person.
