John,
Sorry to hear that. When you first stepped there I thought "a friend of mine" is in the nest. You know we have some common (fill in the blank for me, can't find the word) - you, me and G.Tasker (speaking of him, I haven't heard for a long time. Hope it's for he now heavily deals with C#). I miss Devcon 2002 days (you and many other folks made me feel at home-thanks).
Anyway, health and family should be above all matters. I wish you the best in your new path.
