Kanonier Reichmann Posted January 2, 2001 Share Posted January 2, 2001 Iwas wondering whether anybody has heard from Slapdragon lately. The absence of his usually informative posts has certainly been missed by this particular post reader, even if his style does seem to ruffle some people's feathers from what I've seen in response to his posts I certainly hope his absence is in no way related to the illness he suffered a little while back. Any feedback from someone in the know would be greatly appreciated... and yes Slappy, you're welcome to reply. Regards Jim R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
109 Gustav Posted January 2, 2001 Share Posted January 2, 2001 He's still around. A couple of months ago, there was a thread saying he had a stroke. I believe he was supposed to play lots of CM, something about memory loss. Better search to learn firsthand. I think the title of that thread was the same as this one, interestingly enough. ------------------ Well my skiff's a twenty dollar boat, And I hope to God she stays afloat. But if somehow my skiff goes down, I'll freeze to death before I drown. And pray my body will be found, Alaska salmon fishing, boys, Alaska salmon fishing. -Commercial fishing in Kodiak, Alaska Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slapdragon Posted January 6, 2001 Share Posted January 6, 2001 I have recovered from my "stroke" (actually a series of epileptic seizures which coded me and made a bunch of paramedics and my wife get fairly upset). The past month I have been working on a multimedia project in Orlando (to pay off my hospital bills) and finishing a 300 page research paper, but the good news is I will be back to piss off the luddites and even back to playing (look out Cheng -- your first on my list!) in about 15 days!) I am now back in South Carolina, writing my syllabus with which to inflict 200 young minds with, and generally getting set to return to the University grind.

Simon Fox Posted January 6, 2001 Share Posted January 6, 2001 Yes of course you'll never be able to teach basket-weaving now, the intellectual rigours *shakes head* ------------------ Muddying the waters as usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slapdragon Posted January 6, 2001 Share Posted January 6, 2001 Basket weaving is a serious field of academic study, at least that is what I am trying to convince me Dean right now.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanonier Reichmann Posted January 6, 2001 Author Share Posted January 6, 2001 Good to see you're back "in the game", so to speak & I look forward to your usual quality posts down the track. Regards Jim R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Fox Posted January 6, 2001 Share Posted January 6, 2001 Certainly, but astral travelling as a research methodology is unlikely to transfer well to another field. You may need to modify your modus operandi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
