Mike, @dropzone has been AWOL

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share
1

I found out, today,why.
I usually chat or email with him every day. I was missing him for several days.
And worried. Cause that’s what I do. I worry and fret.

I have many numbers and addy’s for him. He was answering none of them.

I finally went into my email archive and found his daughters email. I sent her an email.
She didn’t respond but her roommate did.
They’ve had a death in the family and she’s facing some tough times.

Her roommate told me @dropzone was moved to a hospital. He’s on a ventilator and has pneumonia.

I’m very concerned for this family.
Could you guys spend a couple minutes to send virtual hugs and prayers? Or, meditate, tip your hat, or have a drink on Mikey and his girls.

Thank you in advance.

Ohhh, my. Sending lots of positive energy his way.

I will send my best hopes for a full recovery and warm wishes to the family who are probably semi-out of their minds with all of this. And a spare hug for Beck as well. Since dropzone did much the same for the board when Beck was a wreck ( --forced smile-- ) may the outcome come out as well as it did in the past.

– knocks on wood, other back-luck aversion techniques employed –

Certainly!
