>>>>>>>My problem has become way too big to ignore. Tonight I called my daughter Allie asking her to check me into a program and take care of things here for 28 days. I will be in a facility in West Allis, Wisconsin. The way I have been living is no way to live. I am still somewhat in touch with the good person who I know still exists inside me. I want to find my way around what would surely be an early death.

>>>>>The search is going well. I just spoke with a nurse in the intake program and have been admitted. Please contact Clark Sell at the conference site and tell him I have transferred my admission to you. If you need confirmation I will be happy to give it. He's a really good guy. I'll just tell him you're a big goof from Iowa.

>>>>That's fantastic. When do you start?

>>>>I actually won't be at the conference, but like I said, I'd be happy to reach out and try to re-sell it for you. I'd probably need more information from you about the ticket, or feel free to email somebody from the conference and CC me: cole.mike@gmail.com.

>>>I really wanted you to go yourself. You are a self made .NET expert and I sense you want to stay on the bleeding edge, Are you so tied up at work that they can't do without you for a few days? It seems like win-win to me.

>>>Now here is one of my crazy ideas. How about we both go? If you can handle the stick shift of the mighty mighty red Camaro -- or even if you stall it a few times at first -- I am confident Clark will say OK. He could be worth a million bucks by now and chooses to pay it forward. And the Dells is so uncool it's cool.

>>I just got done with a user group speaking tour and presenting at Iowa Code Camp, so I'm taking a break for a few weeks from extra work stuff to enjoy the family. Plus work and school stuff make a last minute decision not possible. I definitely want to go one of these years... maybe next.

When does rehab start, Mike?
