FYI: we are back in the hospital after another stroke. (It's been awhile since the last one.) Nothing too serious but we only have a smartphone. We may be late on our pick depending on how things progress. Feel free to skip us - we'll catch up.

Oh man, that is not good to hear, at least he is doing well from what it seems, how do we want to proceed people?? 

Just me, but I'd certainly be OK waiting a few days to see.  In any case, get well soon!

wait who's in the hospital? Doc or Jose? Jesus Christ it sucks getting old.

oh crap, I don't know now, is it Doc or Jose that is in the hospital??

Hey I am OK waiting a few days.  I just went through some medical crap myself  as I am in that upper middle age category also.  Its upto them maybe they want a distraction while they are in the hospital but we can be flexible either way. Ron.

It's jose who's back in the hospital.  He had a much more severe stroke a few years back.  Not sure yet about Doc.  If anyone hears from him, let us know ASAP.  I'm certainly willing to wait a few days for him if needed.

good group of owners this go-round - no reason to skip anyone due to major real life issues

I'll get my pick in shortly

good news on the medical front.  Stroke was minor and they are letting us out tomorrow. Plus, the lovely Mrs. Jose brought over our laptop (16 hours after the stroke -- of course, it was Pool Boy day). Anyway, we should be fine to pick tomorrow as scheduled.

So,since all concerned parties have at least let us know that they are maybe not well but alive, I can assume we are on the clock to make our picks today?

I'm making my pick at 10am (Jose good to hear things are better with you!)

Yes...we've heard that everyone should be good to go, so we will proceed starting at 9am EDT today.
