Got the word from Loyola. Be there 5:30 AM Monday for the carving. So after Monday, I'll be gone for a while. For those who don't already know, I have esophageal cancer and they will be removing 2/3 of that and 1/3 of my stomach.

    Thoughts hopes and prayers John.
    If its any help we have a close friend who had that exact surgery 4 years ago. He is doing well and has no side effects other than a few foods that he stays away from because of the way his stomach processes them (IE Beer & chocaolate)
