    Hello everyone. Sorry I've been away for a few weeks. You may remember seeing a post from me talking about apendixes and then I disappeared for a while. Long story short, my appendix was about to pop (thank dad it didn't), I got it taken out, came home from the hospital a few days later, and then the area where the surgeon cut me open got very, very, very infected. I could go into more gorey details but some of you may be eating so I won't make you toss your cookies by telling you about it. I'm pretty much fine now, except for a case of strep throat which I'm getting over as well. Not only have I been laid low by illness but I also have had to be on the road for business purposes as well. Driving over 1,400 miles over 4 days (hey, I didn't just drive straight there and turn around) with a two year and strep throat old isn't fun. On the bright side, if everything goes the way I think it did I may be living on the beach in SC in a few months.

    Also, I'd like to send a special thank you out to Bill Bowen and give an example of how great of a guy he really is. I had talked with Bill about possibly doing some work on his website not too long ago. He called while I was in the hospital and again a few days after I had gotten out but I was sleeping then. I emailed him telling him what was going on and that I did want to talk to him but because of health reasons wasn't up to doing much anything like that for a while. His amazing response? He offered for him and his wife to drive a couple of hours from Kentucky to come and help take care of me. Its not enough that he does the work to pay the bills for his family, all the Silent Lambs stuff, and support all the people who contact him, but on top of all that when he heard that I was sick he offered his services to come up and take care of someone who he had never even met in real life. For those of you who haven't been able to tell what kind of a guy he really is, there's proof that he is all that he seems and more. Thanks Bill and I'll be calling you a little later today to talk about your site.

    Dad bless you all!

    Forty days, was it? Jesus, jesus christ, it sounds like you had a close one. Don't you think you are taking this being of man's sins and sicknesses a bit too far? Seriously though, i'm glad you are ok now. It sounds like it was serious.

    Thanks for the update, Jesus Christ. I'm so sorry to hear how sick you've been. It was very kind of Bill Bowen to try to assist you. I hope you're feeling all well now. Incidentally, the man in the cubicle right next to mine had an appendectomy just 4 weeks ago.
