This is an email I received this morning.  Please keep G-Man in your thoughts and prayers.

"Good Morning!  I am a long time friend of Galen’s and I wanted to give you a health update.  Galen wanted me to post to his blog about what’s going on, but I didn’t think I could do that.  He wants all his blogger friends to know that he really needs your good loving thoughts and prayers sent to him now.  Galen is having a 3rd surgery this morning.  He does have a bacterial infection that has run amuck!  There have been as much as 4 antibiotics running through his IV at the same time.  It will take quite a long time to get back to normal (whatever the hell that is!).  We hope he comes home fast, we miss him lots!  Galen is thinking of his blogger family as usual, he is a wonderful friend to us all.                                                       Thanks so much,               Lynne"

Temporarily Down

Mr. Knowitall is on hiatus until further notice; i.e., I'll be back when I'm feeling better.

Thanks, everybody!

I can't sit down, I'm on powerful antibiotics.
I hope it explodes soon, I already missed 2 days of work.

R.I.P. Roderick.....

As some of you may know, one of my Favorite days
of the year is Super-Bowl Sunday!!
Thats the day that I make my world famous Vidalia
Onion dip, and my Gorganzola dip, then head on over
to Mo-Doggies Bar and Grill. But before going to the bar
I would always pick up my friend Rod Bowles, and we would
go together. We worked together selling cars starting in the
early 90's. About 10 years ago Rod had Double Bypass Heart
Surgery and had to go on disability. About 5 years ago he
contracted Hepatitis and had to go og Interferon for a year.
In spite of it all he had a GREAT attitude.
He was very well read, had great taste in music and movies.
He never ever said a bad word about anyone.
He had died twice and was defibbed twice. He always said that
he was living on borrowed time, and he LOVED Life to the fullest!
Rod died yesterday on Easter Sunday, in his sleep....

Roderick...
We worked together, we played together.
We golfed together, played poker together.
We laughed together, we drank together.
We watched Many Super Bowls together,
But not any more!
I know you are at peace.
And we'll be tee'ing off together again all too soon.
In the meantime, I'll have an Ice Cold Stroh's in your
honor, and smile at all the good times we had together.
I Love You Brother...



( I'll be very uninspired this week so please forgive me.
I will be hosting Friday Flash 55 as usual though...Galen)
