Just a little note to all those who expended their own time and energy in reaching out to our friend.
Thank you - you guys rock.
And Norm - if you ever do this again, I'm gonna get on a plane and come and kick your arse in person :-)
Take care, dude - you've got some good people around you. Let them look after you a little. And then it's time to pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and start walking tall again.
