Hello my friends, and apologies for my long absence.

Last you probably heard from me, my electrolytes had suddenly gone way out of balance and I was suffering from anemia. The doctor was able to correct for that with some supplements and a dietary change. Just about the time I was getting over that, I came down with a severe case of "walking pneumonia" (Mycoplasma pneumoniae) which laid me flat for the past two weeks. I had to miss over a week of work, which, when you are a teacher, is terrible because it's not like anyone else can do what you do. So all I could do was set my alarm for a certain time in the morning, roll over, and call my work and croak some instructions to my co-workers who were desperately trying to sub for me while attending to their own classes, then turn back over and try to think about something other than killing myself to stop the coughing and the pain.

So, for me, the whole month of January 2003 has basically sucked swamp water.

I just pray that February has a change for the better.

I realize I have been remiss during this period of moderating in the other forums. I want to thank my fellow mods for filling in for me during my absence. It's going to take some time catching up on things, but I should be around here more often in the near future (slowly at first, of course...I'm still pretty weak.)

Anyway, I hope everyone's year so far has gone a lot better than mine has. Blessings to you all, and I've missed you!

Hugs,

Paris Soulier (Sazerac)
