,,,, a shot of Blackie from his homepage.

I'm scooting off to Sydney and won't be on line from the end of today thru Wednesday (Tuesday, US time), so this is more or less a post and run thing, I'm sorry to say.

"so this is more or less a post and run thing, I'm sorry to say."

I'll be in touch with blackie and his wife by phone.
I'll let them know you posted this thread and read the responses to blackie.
He might have internet connection at rest home.
I met blackie and his wife a few months ago.
They are only 100 some miles from me.

Blackie also drives a way cool Ford Pickup. Get well soon Blackie cause you're one of the few older than me here in FReeper Land...
