 TS> Hi John.  Wondering if you got my check for the LIS comic set?
Hi Tony - yes, I did receive your check about 2 weeks ago.  But I have not 
sent out the comics yet, and I apologize for that.
When you sent for the SLIDERS comics, I was able to send them to you the day 
I received your check.  Which I did.  At that time, my life was "normal" -- 
meaning I could run errands, like to the P.O., at will.
4 weeks ago, my wife and I had our first baby.  One of the things the doctor 
said after the baby was born, was that my wife should not be up and about at 
all for 2 weeks, and should only run essential errands for the 4 weeks 
following.  After 6 weeks, she should be completely recovered and we can 
proceed to live like we used to. The reason I mention this is that I myself 
am unable to drive, (visual disability since birth) so my wife drives me 
around when things need to get done.  I have not asked her to take me to the 
P.O. yet, as the P.O. is some 7 miles from where we live, and I didn't want 
us/her to make a 14 mile round trip when her "lower half" is still healing.  
Even now, 4 weeks after delivery, she is still having some pain and a bit of 
spotting, which gets worse every time she squeezes into our (small) car to 
run us to the market or whatever.  So I am trying to keep demands on her 
driving as light as possible.
I will get the LIS set out to you by the end of this coming week.  
Thereafter, I should be able to return to my normal 24 hour turnaround if you 
- or anyone else -  ever wants anything else in the future.  I hope you can 
empathize with our situation and you aren't too pieved at me...  :(
You should have the comic set within 10 days...
