'Spaw, I always figure there is a piece of gold in a pile of shit. In this case it was certainly quite a pile, and we're all so thankful to our own higher powers that you are on the mend. The whole ordeal has, as you say, brought home the point of what an incredible place the 'cat is - a little neighborhood bar shared by all the world. It is definitely unique. We have also come to love Karen and Clarence and Connie and Wayne - truly wonderful folks who are so important to your recovery. We are blessed to know them as well. So, keep up the good work, and here is a little more love and prayer coming your way to keep you off that catwalk and on the straight and narrow path to recovery. Godspeed.
