Default On the road again....this time Finland!!!!

Sorry I've been out of circulation, folks. I had to work lots of overtime lately and I had to (GASP!!) cancel my vacation for two reasons:

1. Mom was very sick and still is. She had a blockage from scar tissue from a tumor that was taken out of her small intestine 20 years ago. Now she has a second blockage and the docs seem to be idiots.

2. Work's been nuts. Few companies on the Virginia side of the Potomac River want to hire RF engineers because they don't want the overhead costs.

Anyhow, two other engineers and I are troubleshooting problems in Finland. We're getting there. I'll be back in the USA (I hope) on Saturday, May 20.

Tom, I have a nephew in Finland! I wish I had his phone number; it would do him good to hear an American accent.

Can you get your mother to Hopkins? They kick out the idiots there. I'll pray for her, and for her doctors to do what she needs to have done.

Sorry to hear about your Mom, Tom. Let us know how she is doing. Hope you are able to get some other opinions.

Finland huh? That's nice and a break from all those trips to France.

Hi, Tom! Lucky you, getting to travel all over!

I hope your mother does better.

(I saw a joke today where the doctor was saying that he's all out of miracles. He used them all up getting through medical school. Scary, huh?)
