Well, higgety, hoggety, haggety high! (I wish I'd written that!)

Written by Burt Bacharach (I kid you not!) and Bob Hilliard. The version that you and I both know and love, Pete, is by The New Christy Minstrels.

C'mon, all you Cherokees, sing along with me!

Whoops! Thread drift!

Horrible news Simon. I'm thinking and feeling for you and yours. I will try and cover for you if you want me to and totally understand why you can't be there. I just don't know what to say except lean on me if you need to.

Simon

Nearly 5 years ago I was where you are now. There is nothing I can say that will help you in any way. But if you need or want someone to just listen to you talk about you son or anything, please pm me and we can exchange phone numbers.
