I have been given a bad hand in health in my life and I don't know where it will end up. As of now I am unable to write. On May 1st I am to see a neurosurgen to remove a portion of my brain: a small gland called the Pineal Gland. As with any surgery it has risks, but this is my only hope now for survival without further problems. Because it is brain surgery, I may not come out as I am now with my mind and knowlege. There is that risk. So I am letting those who care to know I am no longer able to write and post on the Nifty Archive. Thank You for your support, from when I started to write. Live long and prosper. Love, Wes
