"rumors of my death have been slightly exaggerated!" -- mark twain
well dear friends, im back with a vengeance. finally got internet hookup yesterday. had a week of internet withdrawal. nice to be back on here among friends. im in a fab place with a wonderful staff of gorgeous nurses. great food and plenty of it. im very underweight due to my swallowing difficulty so im on a 'weight gain' diet. there's no demand for prime corn-fed irishmen that i should know about, is there? feels like im being fattened for market. i get 3 milk shakes per day and all the ice cream i want. have about 40 lbs to gain so im loving it.
i have one last favo(u)r to ask dear friends...please send me a greeting card from your part of the world. it seems to improve the quality of care when the staff knows people are concerned about you. my address:

the va is getting me a power wheelchair with wireless internet and a uk-made communication device called a dynavox so il be speaking with a brit accent now blokes and blokesses. aye wot!? i will be a wheelchair cowboy again, eeeyahoo!
been showing biab to the staff and they are interested in buying it. mine is v2008.5 but il ask peter to upgrade me to the everything pak before i demo it in ernest. peter?
the nutritionist is a great country singer and we are working on a collab with biab. will post it when its ready for prime time. also working on a song: "A Northwesterner's View of Of Oklahoma" which is a spoof about these wonderful people down here. im gathering anecdotal trivia from the locals to be set to music. can this much fun be legal?
im also getting otr (old time radio) set up through the activities director so we old folks can enjoy reminiscing to old radio shows. ive never been busier nor enjoyed myself more so it must be illegal. opinion mr conley?
i take this opportunity to sincerely thank everyone for your kind words of encouragement. with friends like you i will survive this difficult transition. first time wife and i have been separated in 50 years.
i love you
don
