Mike, I've been keeping up with your postings on LiveJournal. Amazing. I'm glad
Chrons is out, and hope you quickly find the way to balance things in your life.

is astonishing how quickly stress can affect health - heck, just by missing
sleep
you can start on a downhill slide.

Kudos to your wife. She's a sharp cookie! :)

Regards,
MB
