I'm still here. Have a cranial mass lesion in left occipital lobe, 6.5mm, aka brain tumor. still doing the "every 6 weeks MRI with contrast and perfusion" routine. As long as it doesn't grow, all is well; if it does grow, I'll be in the operating room for cranial neurosurgery within a week (or so they say). So other than that, life is good. Tie on the weekends when not working. I'm game for a swap if 12 or fewer flies, and if no PB is needed. I have some Ice Dub and could tie up some "Josh's White Lightnings" nymphs in either purple or orange (prefer purple - caught a 13-14" brookie and an 18" rainbow on it this pattern this late september / early october). Let me know when due, how many flies, and where to send. I don't do well with hosting, but if someone else (you?) are hosting, I'll gladly participate. -Pete
