FYI: Tom's been off since a minor surgery on Monday. He thanks those of you who have asked about him and those who have helped on the Plumbing board in his absence.
Going into it, he had expected to be back possibly by today but says the painkillers have got him just too loopy to be online.
He sounded very chipper - and in fact said that the doctor told him that he is recovering more quickly than they'd anticipated he would.
He said he'd be back online in a couple days.
