Hi Ken!

I have to say you really are a trouper!  I look forward to seeing your pics and of course wish you all the very best with your surgery and hope you have a smooth and uneventful recovery.   :)  You will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Steve -- You really crack me up!   :D :D :D :D :D :D

Hello,

No Magic Scarf yet!  Must not have been a snow leopard and is waiting for spring. 

We'll keep checking.

The Magic Scarf has arrived!!  Pictures to follow. 

In the meantime, the Virtual Magic Scarf (VMS) will have to do.



Cheers!!

Hi Ken,

Wow! No one has ever been able to get a picture of the "Virtual Magic Scarf" before!

Congratulations on your "postie" status - I'm glad you're doing well. (I love the "attitude" tag on your signature line!)

Wishing your continued healing!

Nice picture, Ken - and so amazing to be able to catch a glimpse of the rare Virtual Scarf!!  Hey, I noticed that your gauze "bonnet" was almost over your eyes.  Mine was too and it drove me crazy.  I have pics in the hospital of my husband trying to gently tug the gauze up our of my eye so I could see.  I know it was the interns that did it - bless their diligent little hearts...  8)
