    Please let Doug know that although we’d love to have him back blogging, his health comes first and foremost. If he needs to take more time to continue to recover, please please do so.

    Appreciate the update, he is one of a few folks around here I have sought out on other media like Twitter/FB because of the insights and perspective he offers.

    We miss you Doug!
