Alameida sez, “I am running a fundraiser for Gary Farber, of amygdalagf.blogspot.com. He is a great blogger, one of the first on the scene, and he is also gravely ill and without health insurance or a job. I am making personalized mix CD’s for whoever donates $15 or more to him through the paypal link at our site (people have to fill in the “message to sender” portion with their shipping address and specific music requests.)”
(Thanks, Alameida!)
Update: Gary sez, “I’ve been gravely ill, on
several occasions, but presently I’m merely suffering
from various ailments, some of which are responding
somewhat to medication, and others less well. But
while my blood pressure keeps making the medicos look
at me like my head will explode a la Scanners
any second, and the heart is rather unpredictable, and
without listing all my other ailments and problems, I
think ‘gravely ill’ is a stretch at present”
