So glad that Dondra is home and got to sleep in her own bed.  That's medicine for the spirit right there. 

You all get some good sleep and hopefully tomorrow will be a brighter day.

Doug and Janet

I wish I could sleep, but I have to keep an "ear" out should my wife need me. Tomorrow our son will be on the watch.

I know this sounds excessive, and I don't mean for this to be all about me, but I couldn't stand to lose her again. Not after the second time being married to her and having found my love again.

I have something to tell you (if I've never told you before). Your sig line always reminds me of Nigel Tufnel's quote.

"You can't really dust for vomit, can you?"

Always keeping my sense of humor, I am,

Your friend

Bill, the line comes from Hamlet, 2nd act.

What a piece of work is a man! how noble in reason!
how infinite in faculty! in form and moving how
express and admirable! in action how like an angel!
in apprehension how like a god! the beauty of the
world! the paragon of animals! And yet, to me,
what is this quintessence of dust?

To me it just means that no matter how great we are or want to be, in the end all that will remain is the dust of our bones to mark our existence.  The goal then is to do something worth remembering with the time we have.

Haven't started Happy Boy. It takes me a long while to learn a new song. And also I thought that request was to Dirty Ed.

I'll diddle with the settings this evening. Now that I've got the recording working better, I'm enjoying it and will be using that folder to record and share for constructive criticism.

How'd the night go? Everything stay OK?

Doug and Zurf

We're both doing great today, and Dondra's heart rhythm and blood pressure have been under control since we've gotten home. Last blood pressure reading was 162/73, and that's WONDERFUL for her.

Zurf, please overlook my dumbness about "Happy Boy". I didn't mean you had to rush right along and learn it. I'm not thinking too clearly right now after the whole last week and a half. So please, please, PLEASE excuse me if it came across that way. I've just been trying to keep everyone here at "Casa Craig" in good spirits by playing all these tunes y'all have done for my Dondra.

I know I have more people to thank, so I am going through all the posts to make sure I haven't forgotten anyone. If I have forgotten someone, please excuse me. I hope you all know how precious you are to us and how grateful we are for being with us throughout this whole ordeal.

We send our thanks and love,

Bill and Dondra Craig

B & D

It's 20 til midnight and I'm just home from work. I've got to do some work at the range in the morning, so I'll diddle with settings and maybe get another song or two recorded for the lovely Ms. Dondra.

- Zurf

Well, she started it!!!!!

Yeah, she was sitting there listening and when you went into "Bobby McGhee" you must've tugged on those heartstrings a little too hard, Ms. Amy, cause as you were getting into the la-la-la-lala's I felt a little wet cheek while hugging her from behind.

We've always been that way, though. What affects one of us, affects the other. She gets emotional, I get emotional. She starts a sentence, I finish it. A combined 23 years (we were friends even during the divorce years) will do that to ya, I reckon.

But this has been a first for the both of us: People whom we have never even met putting themselves aside, writing/singing us their music, helping us through with their words of encouragement. We know to appreciate that, Amy and Friends. We really do.

Thank you so much and we send our love to every one of you!

Bill and Dondra

Diddle with the settings. I've never heard it called that buddy, but I'm going to use it.
