I really appreciate all the good wishes.  In 
spite of still feeling as though my head is 
stuffed with cotton I'm beginning to notice some 
improvement.  Thinking I might actually be alive 
enough to enjoy myself this weekend in Denver, 
watching Kymaera spent all of HIS money.

I loved seeing a whole raft of cels I haven't 
seen before, most of which I would gladly 
exercise the brand-new karate skills to wrestle 
out of your hands.  

Aside: Here's a mental picture for you...oldest 
girl urges me to do karate. "You need to lose 
this, mom (patting the hips) because, 
um..."  "I'm fat?"  "You're not fat, you're 
just... poofy!"  So picture a poofy middle aged 
librarian in a stark white gi.  Cute, neh?  I 
think I've been watching too much Naruto...
