Well, even the best laid plans go to shit sometimes, I had every intention of flying in on Thursday afternoon, spending time with Hoyt and Karen, and Patrick, and going with Hoyt to pick up ASKA and the backline, but after an MRI on sunday and Drs appt yesterday, i won't be going anywhere for a while. It looks as though I will have exploratory surgery on Sat morning, and the Dr will repair a very damaged Right knee, maybe to the point of total knee replacement. There are unexplained bone fragments and torn cartilage, and a small growth inside the joint capsule. I wish this hadn't happened I was so looking forward to coming down and hanging out with all of you and seeing Steve Braun's debut with HW, and ASKA, plus all my friends. Sorry I can't make it, but it would be too painful to spend the time on a plane and walking thru airports.
