***hugs back*** We've been dealing with the alcoholism part for years. He confided in me today that he's been drinking for 46 years. Some rollercoasters are a part of that form of dysfunction. I hope things get better for him. I don't know if that will be by regaining a measure of health, or by his body ceasing to function. I feel I ought to hope for the best and be prepared for the worst.

Thank you for your support. We're still planning on being in Buffalo in 2 weeks (Friday night the 9th of March to Sunday night the 11th of March.) A diversion might be nice, if you have the time. I understand if schedules don't work out. Let me know what you think, either here, on email (I think my address is in my profile), or on the forums.

I wish you a good week!
