Yep, and I apologized privately to Strike when I found the additional
post you quoted.  When catching up on mail I sometimes forget the tume
frame :-)

My "stay" was just a visit to the ER about my hand and a follow-up visit
to an orthopedic hand specialist.  I had told Strike and Crusty
about it, but now that the cat is out of the bag, about a month ago I
woke up with complete paralysis in the upper tendons of my wrist down
to the first knuckle.  I was thinking carpal tunnel, as did the ER,
but it was diagnosed as "Saturday Night Palsy" as I woke up with my
forearm lying across the sideboard of the waterbed (but it sounds like
there are much more entertaining ways to get this condition, see:

One finger of my right hand; but the left one still works :-)  But it
should be back to normal in another couple of weeks.

Yep.  And possibly (closing in on definAtely) CZM with you and Crusty
in May.  It's that or a new PC (this old 166Mhz is getting old!).
