I wondered why I hadn’t heard from him lately. Thanks for letting us know. If you get to see him, please pass along my good thoughts to him. He’s one of the few people on the boards that I know in real life. SANTO GET WELL SOON! ---

How horrible. I am crap at keeping track of who’s who on SDMB, but he’s one of the few user names I know (okay, I’ll admit, it’s 'cause he posted those super cute pics of him with a dog). I hope he knows so many people are wishing him well. ---

Hopefully now he’ll be able to see peoples’ future, like Christopher Walken in _The Dead Zone._ And now he’ll have an excuse to use a cane and wear a long black coat all the time. ---
