Our friend (and I mean that in every best sense of the word), George could use your prayers, good vibes and well wishes.
If you aren't up to speed, Rivrdog has had quite the bout with his Curmudgeon 6.2 operating system. The technicians have opened up the cabinet and deleted several corrupted tracks and sectors.
The reboot is complete, and only a thorough round of testing and debugging remains before Curmudgeon ver. 7.0 is released to the market.
Or as George put it in his e-mails to me today:
BLOGging is temporarily out of service since I decided to have some of my guts removed (earlier than planned). But that doesn't mean I'm gutless!
Will return to Blogging as soon as I'm released from the hospital. Doing okay, but the hospital life is not for me.
Not to worry George. We've got your back. In fact, Acidman was even having sympathy pains for you.
But George, do get well soon and hurry home. You're missed out here, my friend.
Was wondering why he wasn't posting. Do you know if he's able to read is email yet?

Well, if he sent, I'd bet he can check it now and again. Thanks for the update, Jim.

In a telephone conversation with George a while back, we had discussed his upcoming surgery and his plans regarding connectivity.
When he had that trip to the E.R., his lovely bride brought his laptop to him a few days into the hopsital stay. Per his description; it sucked to try to use dial-up through the hospital phone system.
So, I think he may be able to check mail, but I rather doubt he'll hassle with posting or mail replies until he's back home and logged onto his high-speed network.
In any case, keep all that good ju-ju heading his way, y'all.
