Gary Owens (gnu) update

From: GUEST,BEER (Adrien )

Just want to pass a message onto Gary's friends who are wondering and concerned. He is in a hospital and doing well. He expects to be out in a few weeks. He is in a very positive mind and anxious to be back. No accident, no heart issues, just some physical issues that had to be taken care of.
Thanks, Adrien (formally BEERE.)

Get well soon, gnu.

And, as I always ask, what noise does a gnu make?

Bnag!

Good to know the old fella is still on this side of the sod.

Come to think of it, I might be older than he is …

I’m glad to hear (read?) he’s okay. I’ve been trying to get Pete Seeger stamps for him in exchange for the Stan Rogers ones he sent me. Besides, without him Moncton might have a terrible beer surplus.

Back in 2008 and 9 when I went through my hell year with cancer, gnu was one of the Mudcatters who helped to keep my spirits up with good wishes and comments, so let me reciprocate. Sending much love from Mrs D and me.
As a veteran of long term hospital stays my best advice is to respect the doctors and make friends with the nurses and techs.
And get the hell well soon. I mean it.

I see the g is still silent.
The procedure may have been embarrassing.
Its great to not speculate.

Speculating is rarely helpful.

I just hope he isn't saving up memes to share the moment he's back on his computer. We'll all be awash with the things, considering how generous he usually is with sharing humor and topical art.

Donuel, Gary informed us long ago that his nephew calls him'guhnu' so he pronounces it that way himself.

connectivity issues are everywhere. A friend's computer decided it would not talk to my Mac even tho we've been corresponding for years, the suggestion from a techy friend was I email from another device & sure enough it got thru! (Another) One Of Life's Little Mysteries!

Good to know the Gnu is back on line.

My domain/webspace provider has declared to not handle various lowly old security protocols - such that things like Office Outlook 2007 will not cover. That may be a clue.

So it is back to browser access.
