I remember that.  He discussed it in here a few times.  I also remember he
hated to be called Mike.

I remember someone in here gave me the number to Nancy's hotel room a few
days before she passed.  I called her and talked to her for a short bit.  I
was deeply saddened when I was told she had passed.  Nancy was an interesting
person and one heck of a Scrabble player.  I don't think I never won a game
with her.

I'm also thankful for Nancy's husband who was able to hack the Blue Wave door
for Proboard and make it Y2K-compliant.

I'm hoping I can get that insulin pump to help me get a grip on my diabetes
so I can get my bad foot reconstructed.

I'm not giving up, ever.  I still have a lot of life in me.
