First off, sorry for not responding sooner. Fact is that I'm weak as a newborn kit right now and just don't feel up to doing much. Doc says this is normal and will pass soon. For now my posts may be somewhat spotty, but don't worry, in no time at all you'll be wishing I'd just shut up a while.
As for the matter of the Vermont Teddy. Rich sent my wife an e-mail to suggest a get well gift. He's that kind of a guy, ya know. Real class act. Anyhow, one of the things he suggested was a Vermont Teddy. Having never heard of such a thing, Margaret starts getting odd thoughts about lingere and what does this have to do with being sick? As I'm sure some of you did. Come on, admit it!
What it is, is a Vermont Teddy BEAR Greeting. Its a Teddy Bear dressed up and sent out as a greeting card! They're really a great gift too. Women just fall in love and even the most maucho roughneck can't help but say "now ain't that cute!"
Rich sent me a "Dr. Goodbear Get Well Bear- gram". Dressed as a doctor with flowers, candy and Get well Soon across his chest, this little guy lifted my spirts as soon as I saw him. To make it that much more perfect, imbrodered across the back of his lab coat reads "TFL MEDICAL STAFF". This bear will hold a special place in my home.
So, now ya know what a Vermont Teddy is, and hopefully a bit more about the boss round here. Rich, your a fine man. Thanks!

Ok, before I go, As much as I appreciate your wishes and concerns, my 15 minutes is up.
Bottom line, I'm back, I'm healing and I ain't goin' nowhere. Its time to get back to what we do best. Go burn some powder, make some noise and PO some anti's. I'm gonna be just fine.
