Hi Sev, just checking in to see if there is any word on how you are faring.

Lots of good thoughts continue to wing their way up I-95.

Up I-95? In that traffic? I'd best go out and guide them in...I know the roads from 95 to Hopkins well....
.... and I'll add some of mine as I go.

Lots of good wishes, Severn....

Severn continues to heal and they have him up trying to walk (only as far as the bathroom so far). Says he is a bit shaky on his feet.
Starts physical therapy tomorrow. He so wants to be punning you all but he can only use his right hand so, typing is difficult. I pity you for when he is better. He is enjoying the cards as well. Thank you.

OK, Severn, here's more of yer just desserts:

There was this horse stable, see? One of the prize mares was a beautiful thoroughbred red horse named Tess. Not only was she swift as the wind and - to her owners' delight - very fecund, but she had such a strong maternal drive that she would nurture and care for anyone and anything that seemed in need of her care. So she would nurse orphaned calves, let stray cats sleep in her stall, and give love and comfort to small, bratty humans who were often rejected by their two-legged brethren. She even, on occasion, 'adopted' punk rockers, jazz musicians, and (shudder!) BANJO players!   

One night, though, this lovely mare was abducted by a gang of black-leather clad teens with body piercings, black eyeliner, black lipstick -- the whole ghastly works. For weeks the owner and the cops tried to solve the crime, and finally one day they were amazed to find their beloved horse galloping back to the stable, with the black-leather-clad kids in hot pursuit.

The cops, of course, took the felonious brats into custody and tried to get a statement from them.   They finally admitted that they felt alienated by society and had kidnapped this legendary mare in the hopes of availing themselves of her renowned nurture -- but to their dismay, she totally rebuffed their pleas for attention and love.

The moral of the story, of course is
(Scroll waaaaay down -- to give Severn a chance to come up with the horribly bad punch line on his own --

They'll clean him up, he'll get a bit of graft (but hey, what's new about that in the DC area?), and they'll move him to a special water bed where the ebb and flow of water will assist healing. After that he'll be commissioned in the US Navy for have been where the Severn Meets The Tide.

Dragon Naturally Speaking is grate soft wear. I used it a lot full stop

it take sum time to get it to recognize your speech patterns come but when you get it running well come it is just beachy. I can type 150 words a minute with it but it does retire some add just meants when you get start Ed.

If you get Dragon come ah, hear is a hint for anyone who has a few dinks on the weak end. Set up two uses. One for during the weak and one for when you are in binding. That way, when you have a few beards come you can use the other data vase and it will recognize your screech saturns.

Works a street full stop. I am dove thing it.

Hey, just don't forget my royalty check, Mick. *g*

Severn, I've finally gotten the hang of editing the iMovie videos and saving them in formats like QuickTime and jpeg so I can "share" them online without the whole world seeing them.
I should be able to send you some links to video files from last fall's Getaway very soon.

I even set up an account at MediaFire so I could send people links to download those videos without seeing all the porno lure pics at the bottom of the page that you get when you use RapidShare. But since RapidShare doesn't require having an account, I'll probably go ahead and send you some links using that site, if you're well enough to handle the porn. OK?

Here is a letter from my friend and Severn's cousin, Kathie Mack:

Dear Friends,   
   As you know, Severn Savage suffered severe burns in a kitchen accident on March 25 and is still recovering in the Johns Hopkins Burn Center. This is Severn's third health disaster in 18 months and he has exhausted his sick leave. This means that he is not only suffering from the burns and the skin grafts they require, but he is in financial difficulties.

Severn is a warm-hearted and generous person and a long-time member of FSGW and supporter of acoustic music. Many of us have been discussing ways to help him out in his time of need. He is my also my cousin, and so I want to write to you all to solicit your ideas and support.

A first need is moral support. Severn appreciates very much the get-well cards he has already received. Please continue to send cards to him at Hopkins:
> Severn Savage
> Johns Hopkins Burn Center, Room 312A
> Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center
> 4940 Eastern Avenue
> Baltimore, MD 21224


A second need is financial support (utility bills keep piling up, even if he is not at home). A benefit concert and benefit chantey sing are being discussed, as well as direct donations. Please let me know if you have other ideas, and/or can help with any of ideas already on the table.

So far, the FSGW Open Sing on April 3 has passed the hat and I have deposited that money directly into Severn's checking account.
If you would like to contribute money directly to Severn, please make a check payable to him and mail it to me so that I can deposit it for him:
> Severn Savage c/o Kathie Mack
> 7208 Maple Avenue
> Takoma Park, MD 20912


With many thanks for the kindness and interest already shown to Severn,

Kathie Mack
