[TheForge] Been to the flea market again...

[Jerry Frost]

Makes me feel like a schlub for not asking sooner. 
<sigh>

I'm really happy she's doing well and can associate 
with the bored business. Tell her it's worth putting up 
with it though. I might not have had to do the last 
major surgery if I'd taken it a little easier. Surgeon 
doesn't think so, he says it just didn't take but it's 
still a maybe.

I wonder if I froze something, packed it in dry ice and 
shipped it second day if it'd make it in edible 
condition. Hmmmm.

Give her my best.
