One of the original members (if not THE original) of this forum, and easily one of the best men on this forum, Bob McG, is getting his **** kicked by life again. I'll leave it to Bob if he wants to share the details. If you love and respect Bob as much as I, drop him a line here or a PM to show him that you care.

    I don't know you, Bob, except for your postings here -- always level-headed, considerate, and informative, with a great blend of humor. Whatever you're confronting, best of luck! Approach it the same way you do things around this crazy place. That's a winning combination.

    Frank has it.

    Bob's lovely partner Geri, has just lost her mom. It (naturally) wasn't easy on any of the people involved. I was able to meet Geri, and she's a sweetheart. Bob has got a terrible history regarding the entry of the new year.

    You great folks are already doing everything you can.
