Didn't know where else to put this...
« Reply #-1 on: March 31, 2014, 08:53:11 PM »
Hi All,

Mostly, hi to all of my friends that have sent notes or asked about me over the past several months. I don't know how to say how much your thoughts meant to me. I have been knocked down and beat up... I really don't want to ask you to listen to what has happened.  However, I am so appreciative of your thoughts and well wishes, you can't imagine. Thank you!

I actually cooked something last night - it was a pork butt in my pressure cooker (no pictures - total unicorn!) But, it was tasty. Trying to find my way back. I hope and know you will be patient as I get back... I will probably do some lurking... but I will come back.

Again, thank you. All of you. Your support and messages have made a huge impact on my recovery.

Thank you,

David

Well this just made my day. Stopped by your house a while back. You sure you are feeding that big dog?

Welcome back sir! You were missed!

Just to be able to cook and enjoy doing it will hopefully help on the road to recovery. Glad to have you back if only looking over our shoulders ;D

David, I was thinking about you last night and wondering how you were doing.  Boy, it's great to hear from you. If I had had all my shots I could have come up there in cold country looking for you.
I just got me a copy of the "Lost Worlds of South America" course from the Great Courses.  Really looking forward to looking at al 24 hours or so of it.

Wow, I don't even know what to say. Pappy, I know you came by, I got the note. My dog IS big... but he is a kitty cat - that's what my girls call him... :) Paul, Gene, Tim, Smoke, thank you for your notes, Tommy and the rest too... I do not want to take you all through what has happened and where I am. But, your support and friendship means more than you probably will ever know. I mean that. As I think of it, my allergies kick in... thank you...
