Old Rocker makes the Top Ten!

Stubborn Norwegian

Congratulations are apparently in order for Stan's classmate Karl, a frequent visitor to this blog, retired rock 'n roll guitarist, and all-around good guy with a law practice in Seattle.
According to his wife, Sue, Karl went under the knife yesterday for a chronic ailment and gave up a giant gall stone.
Sue sends this note:
You commented somewhere about Karl. Stubborn Norwegian. He has had this gall bladder disease a long time, apparently, and the surgeon had to do a full-on incisional removal yesterday. Said it was in his top ten of baddies, and saved us a stone an inch across.
He was doing fine, though full of tubes and things when I left him last night. I'm about to go back and hang out some more. He was still cranky, true to Norwegian form but still under the influence; don't know if he'll be up to watching the game; we get pretty excited!

Here's wishing Karl a speedy recovery. We'll pull for his SeaHawks today.
