h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I noted your Journal Entriy about the upcoming hip surgery.
Sometimes RL has a way of putting everything else on hold.
I suppose this means you will be absent from the Pirate ship for a while. I myself am going on 59 and praying that my joints hold together for another six and a half years until I'm eligible for Medicare as The taxes I have paid over the last thirty years get me very little in return. You should be glad the UK is willing to foot the bill. All my best wishes always -shagbark

Hi Shagbark! Thanks for the good wishes. I am tentatively scheduled for sometime in April for my op. They are telling me to expect to be in the hospital for a week (very different than the USA!)so, yes, I will be absent from h2g2 for a bit. Nevermind, I'll be baaaack ...
