To everyone here at colon club:
I am so very sorry for what has been going on here on the group, in which I was a central figure. Whatever reason I thought I had at the time to fire back on nebtans and bossan was no excuse for having done so. I was very wrong and I hope gthey and you can forgive me.
I have been very sick lately. While I am not the healthiest person I know, I rarely get sick. But this time, I have been hit pretty hard. Hard enough in fact, that I have had to drive myself to the last three road games for my hockey team instead of riding the team bus, so I won't get anyone sick. It racked up my voice really bad too, which made Friday's game an adventure and Sunday's game an absolute disaster, from an announcing standpoint. It's anyone's guess how I'll sound tonight. And I feel bad enough now that, combined with some lousy weather, my wife would prefer I stay somewhere tonight and nor try to make the nearly five hour drive home.
Now, combine all that with today's news about White House Press Secretary Tony Snow's colon cancer returning and the twinges and tweaks I have been feeling lately and quite frankly, I am as scared as anytime in my entire life.
Perhaps all this has clouded my judgement. Even if it has, I still don't find it to be an acceptable excuse for my behavior here. Once again, I ask not only your forgiveness, but your acceptance of my membership here at colon club. I could not bare having to leave. Please forgive me.
