<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Hi all. I'm sorry to have missed the last
couple cagdu meetings. As some of you may know, Velvet's undergoing chemo
for breast cancer. Sometimes I just forget until it's too late that there
was a meeting. I don't sleep well, especially in the week right after
Velvet's had a treatment. I'll wake in the middle of the night and sit up
in my old recliner that's falling apart. At such times, I find that I'm
not thinking about anything, which for me is something. I'm always
worrying or planning or writing in my head. I'll try to make this next
meeting, but I wanted to write and explain that I haven't lost interest.
Sometimes it's just hard and I feel so helpless, especially when Velvet
falls or can't get comfortable. Love to you all. See you
Sunday. Is the new number the one we're using now? Thanks for
understanding. Ken </FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
