He's one of us, a regular contributor, and he also happens to be an old, old friend of mine.
He is presently in the hospital with myriad health issues -- he is in the ICU, etc. I don't have all the details, and even the ones I have I just don't look to share because privacy is a thing. That said, I and a whole lotta other folks are really worried about him, and hoping and praying for the best. If any of y'all like to pray, or just throw some good ju-ju into the universe on his behalf, it seems now would be a good time to do so.
I hope to update this thread with good news soon, but felt like I needed to get this out there for this community (albeit in the more private forum around here).
