MICHAEL IS BACK!

i didn't realize just how worried for him i'd been until i saw the posts on the averi site - and promptly squealed, "MIKE'S BACK!!!" and thoroughly started beth, who was already in shock that i was awake - before 8 a.m., no less.

a better-than-even-expected start to a crazy and grand few days. he posted a very in-depth explanation of what he's been going through - be warned, it's not for the squeamish.

but so good to read something from him, as opposed to the periodic updates from his bandmates at shows and whatnot. so happy to read he's doing better.
