Sorry this took so long..

Some of you may have noticed that Furboi's Hot Men is on hold  also http://groups.yahoo.com/group/hairyarmsonhairyguy2/ . I guess I owe some of my incredibly loyal followers an explanation. Fifteen years ago I was diagnosed with Cardiomyopathy and given about a year to live. I was given the choice of a heart transplant or tough it out with drugs, lifestyle change and an overall refocusing on my health. I chose the later with great success. One small oversight is that fifteen years of the various medications, and there's a lot of them, is taking their toll. Some to the point of being toxic. The past couple of months I have been very sick. Fortunately, I am a patient at one of the best hospitals in the world, Mass General in my home town of Boston. I'm at the point now where I only have to go in every 10 days for tests, monitoring and adjusting the meds. Needless to say, I am wiped out! I need a break and then some time to recuperate. Bear with me.

Only the good die young.

That's why I'm still here. :)

Tom

Hey Tom! I`m a huge fan of your blog, and I`m glad to hear from you. I was really concerned with your silence, for some reason I believed something serious happened to you. Wishing you all the best, all the strength and serenity in the world. Abraços from Brazil.

Thanks for the news, Tom. I'm glad to hear that you are doing better! I think this might be an excellent time for me to test out a machine that I've just built, the nature of which I cannot relate for reasons of national security and copyright law. Suffice it to say that I've tuned it to your personal electrocardial wavelength extrusion, which should be regularizing within moments. If you should experience any side effects possibly including but not limited to: levitation, uncontrollable fiddling, and/or excellent reception, please don't hesitate to get in touch. Thank you for your participation in this very serious and growed-up serious research experiment science. You're welcome.

Tom

Take all the time you need to get well...

As Connie Francis used to sing: [we] will wait for you...

You have provided us so much men over the last 4 years, that we have enough material for almost a life time!

Your recovery, be it speedy or otherwise, is the most important thing for all of us!

Big hugs for you!

Boris
