Stephen,

I was just passing by and heard your tale of woe. Yikes, it sounds 
like an ordeal, but when it's over, you'll be in better shape than 
ever. Just keep reminding yourself of how good it's going to feel to 
finish. I can't wait to see the pictures. By the way, I was going to 
ask you about the new triggers and foam. I'll just wait a bit. But 
please keep us posted.
