Ernie just got Moved By Bike to Matt Phillips’ house, at N Kerby and Blandena. (see Shift’s calendar listing for Wednesday the 13th, “FEMA Move By Bike,” at www.shift2bikes.org). As a bonus, he’s now got Internet access on a regular basis, so email him at ewisn [at] yahoo.com.

Please keep Ernie in your minds and hearts as he goes in for surgery again Friday the 15th, and a week later the 22nd. What’s going on? Briefly, there’s a new ortho surgeon on his case, and they’re going in to investigate and stabilize the bones that have still not healed in his injured leg. More hardware will be involved, and probably antibiotics.

Donations, food, company, and other support are very welcome at this time, especially between Dec. 16th & 21st.

Happy holidays, and please be as safe as you can on the roads!

love, Erica
