Longtime Doper Ranger Jeff (The Hero of American Youth) was taken to a hospital this morning, he’s had a stroke. I talked to him a few minutes ago and he’s still going through tests and they’re watching him pretty closely. They’re keeping him at least overnight. He is in a regular room on the neuro floor at the hospital. I hope you all keep him in your thoughts. A prayer or two wouldn’t hurt neither, if you’re of that persuasion. Let’s hope for best outcomes here. I’ll keep you posted. ---

Okay, this is bad, but since it doesn’t seem like he’s in danger, I’ll post it. He’s found his [new excuse](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=803604). Best wishes and prayers, Jeff. StG ---
