Hey shaggy!

Just got in from the Cayman Islands, and got word of Blackie's condition. I hope that by now he's on his way to feeling better and knocking that infection out.

Please pass along my best to him!

Thanks for the update.

Amazing how you can become "friends" with someone when all you know is about a short story's worth of words that they have written.

But indeed it does happen and Blackie is a friend.

Keep truckin', Blackie!

[Darksheare]

Wonder how one could sneak a laptop in to him...

I talked with blackie on Saturday. He sounded in really good spirits. (He's making sure that NOBODY puts any cream in his coffee! I asked. LOL ... I didn't think to ask him how soon he'll be feelin' bright-eyed and bushy-tailed enough to dance with you again.) ;)
