Thanks Tom!

Rather walk the plank than play the fool!!

ARRR, mateys! I just be lurkin' lately (an' also gettin' over a dumb fall, tripped 'n' hurt my leg, but I be gettin' better) -- but I was in th' 2012.5 beta an' everythin'. How's by ye?

Tom,
Isn't this the second time you really messed up your leg? If I recall correctly, the last time ended you up in the hospital for a while.

I found your albums on Rhapsody today, I thank you for "Hey, It's Can(n)on" That was great.

Anyway, I always think of you at this time of year. I'm glad you're getting better.

Speaking of Pirates, and just to rock the boat, here's a website which answers common questions about them:

Often wondered why we often tend to romanticize some really bad people through literature or song.

Absolutely correct, Gary, although this was a much lesser mess-up. Basically, I tripped on a curb and bruised the heck out of my calf, got a big honkin' scrape (which turned into cellulitis, thank the Flying Spaghetti Monster for antibiotics), and a small break in my right wrist. No surgery needed, unlike the June 2008 fall which had me in the hospital and then rehab for a total of nine weeks.

And, I think of you guys all the time. I've been trying to catch up with life and all, but I'm constantly lurking, just to see what-all's up. Big Damn Manly Hugs all around!
