**Santo** , as someone who’s been in a major accident fairly recently, I’m with you in spirit too. Please keep recovering and doing better bit by bit, every step forward, however small, is an awesome one. Hang in there. …and if they try to give you a Lovenox (I think that’s how it’s spelled) injection in your stomach, don’t worry, it doesn’t hurt. Just don’t rub it with your good hand, it’ll bruise. …I’ve been there. ---

Wakey Wakey Wakey! Let’s see…we could put his hand in a bowl of warm water…or stick a bottle of smelling salts under his nose…or bring in a marching band…or have (insert starlet of your choice) perform X-rated acts on him. Surely one of those would wake him up? ---

SantoRugger must have us in his will, OR, has in the past dictated to SantoRuggersMom that we must be told of his whereabouts…JUST IN CASE. I think that whatever the reason, it’s cool.
