Because it's nice to have some good news to share for a change: my contract got extended again, with indication that it will be extended again in the future, at least until the project is well and truly online.

Hey gang, any health~ma you can spare for my 87-year-old cousin would be greatly appreciated. She's recovering from heart problems and pneumonia (both of which medications seem to have gotten a handle on), but is only slowly getting her strength back and is now being bothered by a pain in her hip that's limiting her mobility.

Guys --
Someone you will remember my friends Gary and Traci, whose 2nd baby boy was born last year with heart problems, which required immediate surgeries and extended hospital care. Several Buffistas donated money. (Thank you!)
They've been selected to be the 2012 Ambassador Family for the March of Dimes.

And my Dad just had a stroke. He's in the ICU overnight, but otherwise things seem OK for now.

No other way to tell this, Maria (MFNlaw)'s husband died at home this morning. Just finished talking to her and she's with her parents, headed home with them. I don't know what else I should share on the open board. Feel free to email me at my username dot 1 at the gmail. Please keep her and their families in your thoughts.
