Got an email from our friend, Chas. He just spent 5 days in the hospital with some internal issues, and had his appendix removed.

He's not in a good mood (I wouldn't be, either)and isn't interested in talking to anyone right now, but I know you join me in wishing him a complete, speedy recovery.

On lots of levels, he's one of the "good guys" here.

He's a very private guy, and I hope he's OK with me letting "zoners" know...
