Yup, ol' Doc Raven was one of the first guys I thought about -

I think I'm gonna have to get a consultation, 'cause this is nobody's idea of a good time...

To tell you the truth, based on first hand experience, I have better luck with herbal/holistic type cures and found acupuncture and Eastern medicine more effectice than traditional methods.

Unfortunately, my acupuncturist and herbalist here on the island has since retired - he was excellent -

"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.

I dunno, Rav - I've had a beaut of a year myself, so I'm sorry to hear about the down note following Plugfest for ya...

All you can do is what you can do - that's where my bride and I are at anymore. Not being fatalistic but I feel like ya just gotta get up every day and kick butt as best you can.

On the other hand, I'll have to admit that after a few years of waking up to what feels like a bar-room brawl every other day to take care of business has put a real dent in my charisma given it might have been a little thin to begin with -

Anyhow - just woke up - had to leave about O-dark thirty to get one of my dogs up to Angell Memorial for an operation to repair a torn cruciate ligament in her right rear leg. I know you went through a real tough spell with Star when she got hurt - for us pups are the best people, I guess. Wasn't a fun trip at that hour when ya feel like hammered lizard chit to boot -

Geez, I gotta remember to stay off the codeine cough syrup I'm taking for this crud I've got before going online...

Anyway, sorta figured you were more than just a health hobbiest - hope you're not gonna go thru this same stuff I've been dealing with -

Oh man, that's about it for me - I think I'd better crawl back in the rack for a while again...
