Our little eBay fundraiser was a success and since it&#8217;s looking like the medical bills are paid for, I get to use this money to do something fun for my family. I&#8217;m so proud to be a part of this industry. Gamers are generous, never let anyone tell you different, and Linda and I are proud to know you. Second, I&#8217;m going in to the hospital next Wednesday to have all the metal removed (sounds scarier than it is) this will be an outpatient procedure and I had something similar done back in November. I recovered in about 3 hours then, I can&#8217;t think why now would be different. I can&#8217;t wait to be rid of this low-level pain I&#8217;ve sadly grown accustomed to. And lastly, a big thank you goes out to Alienware. They offered me a generous discount on one of their super-gaming computers. It arrived recently and it sits in my office &#8211; looking malevolent, cool, and powerful enough to handle anything. (Note: It&#8217;s black like the one in the picture but that&#8217;s actually a MUCH more powerful unit than mine.)
