	I'm sorry to do this but it's the only way I can think of to reach all of
the people on the list to explain.

	Nightelf, please pass this along to Bert, Jeanne, and anyone else. Please.

	Monday morning, I had a stroke.

	I collapsed, my right side paralyzed. This is not a joke. I was just
released from the hospital less than three hours ago as I write this.

	I have lost part of the use of my left arm, the left side of my face, and
some of my ability to speak. (I can't move the left side of my mouth
properly.)

	Needless to say, 'Mi Vida Loco' will be delayed, as will my other fics,
C&C that I intended to offer, and well.. most everything. (by the way..
typing one-handed is a bitch)

	Tybalt.. I'm profoundly sorry for spamming the list like this, but as I
still had not managed to convert my PINE address book into a Eudora address
book, the only way I could think of to reach the majority of my on-line
friends and writing partners was this way. If you choose to censure me for
doing this, I will accept whatever penalty you impose in good grace.

	I'm sorry to ruin your day like this, and I appologize most profusely.

	Ed Becerra
