Well, gang, we just got back from seeing the orthopedic surgeon. He
pronounced Crash's Avascular Necrosis to be *severe* in both hips,
necessitating two total hip replacements. The first will take place on
June 8th. Not sure when the second one will be, but if it interferes
with the cook-in, well ... there's always next year.

We'd appreciate any prayers, vibes, thoughts, candles. Whatever you've
got.

Carol and Crash
