Update on a missing member....

Hey Wharf remember our Bills forum invasions with the Capt. back in the old days?

That should put a smile on your face.

You can do this.

And as always, our home is your home, as this home has always been home for so many. If you're in the Philly area until we move, or Las Cruces area once we move, and can stand the lunacy of our home, do give us a heads up and drop on by. Right now, Jon's at Hahnemann University Hospital in Philly, Rm 2060.

You will indeed be very close to Lucky then. Right across the State lines.

I hope this change helps in many ways. Las Cruces is an interesting Town. Small College town. Be sure to embark on the Journey of the State Fruit known as Green Chili while there. The little town of Hatch is just a stone's throw from Las Cruces and is world famous for the Green Chili they grow...although, truth is the best Green Chili actually comes from the Espanola Valley to the North....
While there, if possible, I STRONGLY suggest seeing the Northern part of the State. Albuquerque offers some unique area to see, including a great Tramway that travels from the Northern outskirt of town up a pretty impressive Mountain (Sandia Peak) and is the longest Tramway in the world.
Santa Fe is an incredible "Artsie Fartsie" town full of quaint old shops, Centuries old tradition LOTS of great authentic New Mexican food, lots of celebrities and the second highest concentration of "Gay" people per capita in the US.... not that there is anything wrong with that...cause there isn't.

If you continue North along the Rio Grande, you can see the little town of Los Alamos, which is where I was born and raised. Lots of obvious history there, including a museum that talks about the development of the A-Bomb, some incredible skiing in the Winter and some very neat Indian Ruins (Bandelier and Tsankui (Pronounced: Sank ewie)

If you continue once again up the Rio Grande, you will eventually find Taos. Another very very unique town that was built around an old Indian Pueblo. IF you really want to see Art and holisitic guru's living a very different life, here and Santa Fe are probably second to none.

Anyways, I won't go any further. But please do stay in touch and let me know if I can do anything prior or while you are in New Mexico. I can even look into the better parts of Las Cruces to be in. My brother lived there for almost 15 years so he knows the lay of that town very well.

I am sorry to hear about Jons health problems.He has been an Admin since before I even joined FH .Not only is he good and fair doing that job but he does it with a good sense of humor.

You can tell him we are still holding the Admin Burka loungechair for him and that he can claim it whenever he feels up to it.:yes:

Get well soon Jon .:up:

Get well soon Jon. The site just isn't the same without you.

See him on FB every now and then. Him and the wife are always positive people. All my best the the wharfster.

Years ago we talked about watching a game and having a beer, as I worked in cherry hill and live a few towns over. So sorry for all you are going through, but keep healing and working towards optimum health.

I wish you the best!

He sounds like a good guy with lots of friends, get well soon.

All good stuff Kenny...much thanks. We're always open to the input of someone who has better knowledge of any subject than we do! We did get up to Hatch while we were there, as well as Fort Selden, White Sands National Monument, and some very high country that I can't remember the name of past Hatch. We've found an apartment complex on North Roadrunner Drive in what appears to be a nice area where we'll put down a deposit as we get closer to the date. I'd love to move further north, but think the weather in the southern aspects will suit Jon's needs better. We really enjoyed it immensely out there, and hated to head back east! Our big plan, if we can get Jon well enough, is to RV up to Ohio and Illinois, stop at a few folks for visiting, and caravan along Rte. 66 to our destination, doing a little picking and antique hunting along the way. New friends in Oklahoma will let us rest there as well. We'll see what the week bring - we'll be consulting with rheumatology and endocrinology for more treatment options this week. I also asked for a nutritionist.

So wait, you mean to tell me that beer and wings aren't nutritious?!?!? Who knew? :)

That's just not true. It will undoubtedly make my plumbing worse!

Oh please, you don't need to convince us of that...the food was soooo amazing out there. Jon and I are huge foodies, and we loved the native cuisine.

Have a lot of friends from New Mexico and they always talk about how nice it is. Good luck to you both!
