Just had a family scare – my dearly-loved Uncle Les (above, on the left) was hospitalized after becoming ill and horkin up blood! Well, a scenic tour up *ahem* you know… and doctors discovered he had bleeding ulcers! Could have something to do with his wife‘s recent death piled on top of Christmas stress!! Luckily he’s all fixed up again and planning to come home shortly.

Kudos to my cousin Joe (above, right) for keeping me apprised of this – Thanks Joe!

My best wishes go out to my cousins who are no doubt a bit concerned!

WHEW! (holds up two fingers a la Maxwell Smart) Missed it by that much.
