Indeed it was a fun time. I haven't laughed that hard in a while.
I too hope that the fundraising was as successful as the punchlines.

neebee - yes, I'd been keeping up with the website. From what I've read his injury is incomplete, but even with complete injuries, a good rehab program is essential.
Here are some pics from when I was in SCVMC this past fall :

I knew I'd been paralyzed from the time I tried to unbuckle my seat belt and couldn't. I thought I'd never get out of the chair, but I did -
Micah deserves a fighting chance.
