Why I'm not around right now...
3/31 - 4/9/1998 (?)

Well, I'm not around right now because I'm either having surgery,
 recovering from surgery, or, taking all possibilities into account,
 not recovering from surgery.

Postscript: I came through the surgery
just fine, but, the recovery was complicated, and, added 4 days
to my hospital stay...after I was home for two.  I hate
hospitals, so, the next time I enter one, it'll either be
visiting a relative; kicking and screaming; or, unable to fight
at all...
