There's an old folk song that goes:
"Goin' away, for to stay, a little while…
but I'm comin' back,
though I go ten thousand miles…

That's the theme song of
my ill and wounded Mac.
In an hour
he's going to the hospital for a week.
Gonna get all fixed up and be
healthy and happy.
This will require complete bed rest,
and sorry, no visitors.
Please don't send flowers -
they make him sneeze.

In lieu of flowers and cards,
please make a donation to HP.
