Henry, Your heading definitely describes me this month. I began it by missing my support group's Christmas party (plus several others) because of a flu-like virus. Then I ended up in the hospital with severe abdominal pains, which took a few days to clear up. Then, two days before Christmas, I took one of my spectacular falls at the mall. Nothing's broken, but lots of soreness, most of which is healing nicely except for a sprained knee which makes it impossible for me to walk. Just when I breathed a sigh of relief that the proverbial three things had already happened, a friend and colleague died the day after Christmas - a wonderful man in his forties with a lovely stay-at-home wife and three young daughters. This was a family that used to spend holidays at their church feeding the families of poor people. I'm at a loss to make sense of any of it. Into this doom and gloom came your ha-ha's. If every I needed a laugh, it was now. Thanks for coming through. Pat Schark pine`
