Bat571 sez,

While we all wait to see how Jeff is doing, I thought maybe somebody should show Klat that the community is continuing, for the moment at least, especially if it might mean that Doc's writing quota could be filled for November. I don't know how the deal with Klat works, but if a few articles and lots of comments would earn some credit for Doc, I'm going to try to help.

I have no words for the above sentiment, other than this.  I've gotten used to "How is ... On a Scale of 1-10" questions the last two months.  :- )  How touched am I by the above?  Honestly, 9.  (10 is reserved for like the birth of my daughter.)

I've been sick, but not that sick.  (Without going into the gory details, a hemorrhaging problem in my hip almost didn't get solved, but now I'm feeling my oats and ready to slide into second again.  Well, maybe headfirst.)

Now feeling back up to snuff.  Hoping to try to do something of my own, here and there, to keep this site going also.  ;- )  In the meantime, thanks to the 90% of Patreon patrons who, incredibly, are still signed up and toking the dealer.  Also, thanks to the many Denizens who emailed me back-channel to try to verify whether I can still fog a mirror.  Hey, you just watch me fog things up around here.

And with that, let's get back to some baseball talk among friends.

Warmest affection,

Jeff
