He is doing a lot better, he only missed working Tuesday. It does suck though, but it happens. He missed out that day but he new he couldn't be of any help since he wasn't sure he could even make it through the day without passing out from being up all night sick.
Thanks for the anniversary wishes, some days it seems like yesterday and other days it seems like it has been a lifetime. That would be a "no" on the brisket, the wife is a vegetarian, so it will be dinner out.
