in recent weeks i've been enduring debilitating issues that have left me with about 1/4 of the use of my body. basically, i have a right hand and sometimes only 4 of those fingers work. in recent days my life and mobility are measured in fractions of an inch. i am no longer able to my job as moderator and need to take off some time from my duties at c.c.

thanks for your understanding. y'all have been great and i look forward to returning one day soon. to my old buddy beave; keep the pot stirred--chump.
