Man down...

by webmaster on Apr 1, 2007 2:44 PM EDT in CelticsBlog

We've all been having some fun around here today, but this is not an April Fool's prank. I received some unfortunate correspondence this morning related to our own, dear Master Po. I'm sad to say that he has experienced a seriously debilitating back injury. I received this news from our Global Moderator aQua earlier today. Po called aQua this morning to let us know that he would not be able to do any writing for us for awhile. My sense was that he may have underplayed the severity of his injury, but that he is also positive and confident that he will recovery well from it.

I took the liberty to relay to him on our behalf of the CelticsBlog community that, "...he is appreciated by everyone at CelticsBlog and will be missed. He will have all our best wishes for a good and speedy recovery". And that, " ...while we will miss his input and presence, we Students of Po will cover his absence as best we can".

Momentarily I will be starting a "Get Well" thread for our Sifu (master/teacher - 師傅). Everyone here is invited to send your regards and good wishes toward him.

Best wishes to Po… He’ll be missed around here, but I’m sure he’ll be back and entertaining us as soon as he is able.

I would be happy to take the bad rap and fallout from it if was a joke, but sadly, it is true. :(

Po, man o man….the game chat tonight was a solemn affair without you. Take care of yourself….On the bright side, maybe you could get one of those voice activated deals, or like that wheelchair bound physicist…save you from all that typing…

Master Po, we go back along way, We’ve weathered the storm together many times, helping each other over troubled waters. I know you’ve always spoken the truth, when others have wavered. You’ve held many to task even when it may have been unpopular to do so. I wish you speedy recovery and look forward to your post again. Let me leave you with a quote that fits you:

“The superior man understands what is right; the inferior man understands what will sell.” – Confucius 551-479 B.C.
