Happy New Year to everyone on AZ! The day is tinged with sadness due to the loss of George Fels. But, I think George would have wanted us all to remember him with the delight of knowing him, if only through his writings and be happy that he was with us for a time. Here's to a great 2014!

I just received word that The Cue Club of Ononodoga {sp?}, on Teal Avenue in Syracuse, NY, better known as Cap's, is closing. http://syracuse.craigslist.org/spo/3764184270.html I'd like to think it's a hoax but I'm afraid it's not. I've spent a few hours there with Dick, Mike Wallace, and...

Kevin is home. He has to have oxygen 24/7, four different ivs, and nebulizer respironics, whatever that is. He is glad to be out of the hospital, here's hoping he can stay out. If you wish to have me pass on a message for Kevin or reach me for some reason, pm me. I have email notification for...

I just got off the phone with Kevin a few minutes ago. He is home but is still having health problems. I don't want to be too specific but he will be out of commission for a while, I'm afraid. Just thought people would like to know. I like Kevin a lot and hope for the best for him. He could...
