On rearranging my insides

Got a call from Boston a couple of days ago and it appears that I’ll be having surgery either the 6th or 14th of May depending on how their surgery schedule works out. Yes, that’s May of this year if you can believe it. As for myself, I’ll believe it when they roll me into [...]
