Fear not!

(this post guest-written by Tony's future daughter-in-law)

Hello everybody,

Please excuse my absence but I've run into a bit of a snag--- let's just say that if the road were the barber and my face were my hair, he took a little off the top. I was biking along in Cambridge, OH along a not-well-traveled and hilly road, and on one of those roads, I skidded on a patch of loose rock and divested my visage of its Venusian virtue. But I digress.

My son plays Lynndie England while I lay in repose. That's me on the right.

A friendly Quaker picked me up and took me to the hospital, where I was airlifted back to Columbus. Or at least, that's what they tell me. As we speak, I'm getting a little bit of surgery done and will be just fine in a few.

Stay tuned! I don't know quite when I'll be on the road again, but it should be soon.

Yours,

Tony.

    Hey Uncle T; Sorry to hear the "news". I'll get right to the point: You were there for me during my accident, so I thought that if they were going to do any sort of skin-grafts on you, I'd be happy to contribute some skin from my ASS if needed !? Thats better than a holstein cow!! Get well soon, man...
