Wayne:

I hope you get some comfort and relief soon.  It is hard some days to deal with chronic illness and that can keep us within ourselves.  Know that we all care for you and are concerned with how you are doing and how you are feeling.

If that old boat is signifying how you feel, then I would trade it in for a smaller boat with a good engine.  But we can't do that with our bodies, so I guess it's time to get someone at the boat to start trying to fix the damn thing.  Good luck with that.

Best wishes and thoughts to you.  Hope you feel well enough to post soon.

Brian
