For all of you who are looking to see the latest goings on of our group, I must apologize. I've been under the weather for about a month and didn't really feel much like writing.

I had to forgo the last meeting as I fought an upset stomach and pain. Having been to several doctors and in the process of receiving a definitive diagnosis of any malady, I must suffer through one more test on Monday.

Enough of that stuff, I hope to be back next week and look forward to another enlightening meeting.

My co-host, Ernie Ovitz, informs me the meeting was both informative and stimulating without me in attendance. I don't know if that's telling me something or not. I'm still going to be there next meeting baring a major setback. I miss you guys!
