Otmar, if you think this is appropriate...


Dear friends and colleagues in LLTI and IALL,

Two days before Christmas I learned that I have colorectal cancer.
(I'll spare you any comments about what a pain in the, well, you
know...). I will be out of touch for a bit, as I have surgery and
then radiation and chemotherapy coming up. I don't know when I will
be back to my beloved LRC, but I hope it will be soon. I can hardly
imagine what it will be like not to be here as the semester opens.

Please think of me and send healing thoughts my way. If you pray,
pray. If you don't, ring bells or chant things or light candles for
me. I am unabashedly enlisting the support of the biggest network of
positive power that I know. We've caught the disease early, and
there's every reason to expect a cure, so don't think any gloomy
thoughts, OK?

I hope to see you in Houston in May. Pete and Jan and I were planning
"The Farewell Tour" but I think we probably should consider renaming
it.

Don't respond to this message, and don't send me any e-mails, please.
I will be away from my computers (if I can stand it) for a while, and
I won't be able to get to any messages. And I don't think anyone
wants to see repeats of this one in their e-mailboxes.

Oh, and if you're around fifty and your Doc says "colonoscopy," do it!


Apologies for any ickiness, and see y'all soon,


Ursula
