Ann: Quarterly Cashflow and Activity Report , page-26

I wish Quinty had never got involved in MCO, but I am sticking with him. He is to go under anesthetic on Thursday, hope he wakes up and our bad dream has gone.

Meantime he is still p[ugging along, but with more meds than usual, and unfortunately for him only on clear liquids until he wakes. White whine is "clear" he says.

He is still fiercely loyal to Nick Garling (although he has only met him at 2 agm's), and no his rose tints have not faded as far as I can see.

He is a passionate and follows everything he can on MCO, inquisitive and gutsy. Despite this energy he been down in a big way several times, but not quite out, in what have been several very hard working and heartbreaking past lives.

Older and crankier by the minute. He is out again furiously cutting wood to vent off steam, meantime I am loathe to remind him of nearly $3/4 million of MCO's we bought at 48 cents.

No pensions, we are self funded retirees, but I start back at work as a physio this week and feel it will good to get out and about, and engage with people who have many more serious woes to talk about than us.

Cheers and good health to one and all.
