Hula is undergoing surgery today so please wish her well and keep her in your thoughts.  She's a sister of my heart and I love her to bits.  She emailed me and asked me to "Wish me good and easy gutting." 

She is keeping her sense of humor... which is good... because she's going to get phone call from me tomorrow to make her giggle just as she did to me on my gutting in Oct 2005.  I believe it was all about the breathing apparatus that I had to suck air through... the hose looked like something else. I also sent her Larry the Cable Guy's "Morning Constitution" to make sure she'd have some laughs while recovering... it IS the best medicine after all. 

LOVE YOU, HULA!!!
