Henning's Headquarters

Oh jeez. I bet that's an albatross around his neck.

 

[Karl Henning]

That must have been what he was referring to when he said 'the gears are turning'.

Thunderous!

[Cato]

You kidding? He's first got to write the symphonic poem Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner which I commissioned for him long time ago. 

Oh jeez. I bet that's an albatross around his neck.

Drat!  You beat me to it!

Oxygen Footprint was so well-received by audiences on Ensemble Aubade's recent tour, that I'm starting to think of a companion piece not sure whether to call it Bourbon Footprint or Bourbon Pacification

[Karl Henning]

Many thanks, again, all!

Call it whatever you want, the most important thing is that you recovered! Three cheers for you, Karl! Deo gratias!

My balance is strong enough and my walking as well, that I have been given liiberty to walk around the floor just with my cane

To quote Braveheart: "FREEEEEEDOM!"   

We have been wondering about that!  Again, excellent news!

Insert extended ovation here

Brilliant. There is much table pounding going on here.

Let me know when you're ready to race me down the corridor. (You'll need to give me a start, of course.)

We have had our own ongoing family health crisis, so I am very late to the game in catching up. I have donated 2018's GMG subscriptions to Karl's GoFundMe campaign.

As a medical person, I have some small understanding of what Karl, his wife and family are going through. My whole-hearted best wishes, Karl, for a speedy and complete recovery. If its slow, then be it steady.

May I offer a small anecdote? When GMG was still a fledgling site, we had a sudden and large influx of members from another well-known forum. I was warned by one of our existing members that I should keep a close eye on a new member called Karl. He was, I was told, a trouble-maker, incendiary and volatile. Nowadays, such a person would be called an internet troll. So when Karl signed up, I made it my special focus to watch everything he posted. My extra-critical eye was watchful for second meanings and anything inflammatory in his posts. It was only after many months of suspicion that I realised that this Karl was probably not the Karl I was warned about, or that I was being trolled by the warning itself. Karl, as you are all aware, has been the most exemplary member on GMG, always courteous and helpful, insightful, tolerant and wise. A credit to our forum! Thank you, Karl for your contribution to GMG and may it continue well into the future.

cheers
Rob

^ What a fine and noble gesture. And it speaks volumes about k a rl h e nn i ng, Dungeon Master, and the community as a whole.

Hi Rob - great story and thanks for your GMG contribution to Karl's fund - Dave

[Jaakko Keskinen]

Great to see you back, Karl!

[Cato]

The latest from Karl's wife, artist Maria Bablyak:

We almost have the amount to get Karl through one-third of his rehabilitation! I don't know how to thank enough everyone who donated to help Karl in his struggle to return back to life. We are overwhelmed by the warm response from friends, colleagues and neighbors. Your generosity and kindness certainly give Karl and family tremendous support; seeing that there are so many wonderful people who care encourages and inspires him to fight for recovery and makes both of us feel that we are not alone in this extremely difficult time. Many many thanks to everyone! We know each gift, large or small, came from the heart and we very much appreciate it ❤ Every $1 is giving Karl a chance to regain back the abilities compromised with the stroke. Thank you! 

So as The Reverend Leroy would say: "Dig deep, and make it hurt!"   

And one more time, if there is still anybody out there who does not know of The Reverend Leroy:

Totally agree.

The latest from Karl's wife, artist Maria Bablyak:

Here is Maria Bablyak's website with a very small sampling of her art: she could use a commission these days, or a customer for her paintings!
