You can check his medical update on a daily basis at his blog on his website.

Have you all figured out which watch you want to go for?

When it gets sorted (which watch? How much do we have? How much more do we need? Where do we send the $?) PLEASE post it here. I'm in.

I've got an almost new computer I can sell to help with getting the watch for Utah! (Just a little joke.)

ACTUALLY I'd like to send a check to help with this watch! Please say where it ought to go.

Count me in, too. He's the best houseguest I ever had, back when I had a coffeehouse to go to. The gen-u-ine purebred Midwestern $#@!-reduction candle series has been started. Good thoughts, prayers and general juju are also on their way.

He's going home? Does this mean they were able to settle his vital signs?

Now that Utah is home and well we can once again start seriously talking about the watch. Nobody has stepped forward to actually take charge of this effort. Since I brought it up in the first place it seems reasonable that I should do so. So be it.

    As I write this my wife, Ingrid, is doing a wedsearch to get a handle on what a good, gold watch will cost. Knowing Utah's fascination with railroads Ingrid is, of course, looking at watch designs in the image of proper motormen's watches. If you know of a good watch, please, post a link to it so that we can all take a look at it.

    Meanwhile, I'm going to look into the feasibility of setting up a temporary PayPal account (or something like it) for the watch fund so that we can each conveniently contribute to it.

    I'm posting here to make sure that people see it. However, I am going to set up a seperate thread for the watch fund. Please, post any watch related comment there so that we're all, if you'll pardon the expression, on the same page with this thing.

    One more thing. If you are in some manner going to be in personal contact (phone, letter, or whatever) with Utah, Please, keep your mouth shut about this. It would be better if we can keep it a surprise.

Thanks,
Stephen Lee

I am wondering if there are plans for a benefit for Utah in the Ann Arbor area. Or has it come and gone? Thanks.

judith, I am working with Matt Watroba and the Ark. We have a date, and I am close to announcing what it is. I will tell you to keep your eye on mid May, ........ tentatively May 14. I will post here, and it will be publicized. We are still trying to get a date for the west side of the State, but hopefully a venue in Grand Rapids on Thursday the 15th. There are exciting things happening.....stay tuned.

Thanks, Mark, for keeping this up to date.

All the best,

Mick
