I just read a very brief email from BooMan which says he is in the hospital and will be off line for a while. I don’t have any more details than that. As soon as I get any further information about his condition and when we can expect him to return to blogging I will let the community know.
In the meantime, my thoughts and well wishes go out to him, and I hope for a speedy recovery from whatever has led to his hospitalization.

Update [2007-6-1 19:40:53 by Steven D]: Ok, I’ve received word that it isn’t BooMan who is in the hospital but someone close to him, and that is why he is off line. He’s staying at the hospital until that person’s situation improves. So, I apologize for the misunderstanding. BooMan’s original message to me did not make clear that it wasn’t his illness that led to him being at the hospital. Again, I’m sorry for any confusion. Once BooMan comes back on line I’ll let him provide whatever details about this situation that he feels are appropriate to discuss with the community.
Oh no! Nothing makes any sense without Booman. Please give him my love and tell him he’ll be sorely missed.
Best wishes to the BooMan
I hope it nothing serious. Best wishes Booman and I hope you back home soon.
Hi Steven, if only all our good thoughts and wishes could make someone better Boo would be back here within the hour. I hope he’ll be ok and back soon.
Joining the chorus of well-wishers. Thanks for the heads up and best wishes to BooMan.

Best of wishes to BooMan and hopes for a quick recovery!
Thanks for letting us know, Steven. I hope someone can relay the message to BooMan that we miss him, wish him well and hope he gets well soon.
give a holler — perhaps efforts can be coordinated with some of the Philly area Tribbers…
For now I will be promoting more diaries to the front page and encouraging other bloggers I know to contribute front page article for me to post if they can. Obviously, I can’t by myself replace BooMan’s perspective on political issues or his productivity.
Oh dear! SO sorry to hear this. Thanks for letting us know, Steven.
He will be in my prayers for a quick recovery.
All the best from your fans, BooMan! Get well soon!
I never liked the word “hospital”. Thank you so much for letting us know and I, too, wish a full and speedy recovery. Thank you Steven for helping keep the site up and going too.
whoa!…thanks for the heads up Steven, hopefully this will be a short lived hiatus.
healing thoughts and well wishes going out to BooMan.

In this land of lesser medical insurance I’m hoping for a quick and complete recovery! Thanks Steven for taking up the slack, here’s a great post to help carry on the conversations

Satchmo is anxiously snoring next to me waiting for good news on BooMan.
Yikes!! Spontaneous trips to the hospital are never good.
Steven, I know you will keep everyone posted and we all hope it is not the result of something serious.
Everyone throw some positive thoughts Booman’s way.
Oh dear.
What’s a pond without its alpha frog?
Get well soon, Booman!
Sending best wishes and a long-distance hug — Hope Booman is back and feeling better soon!
Adding my get well wishes to everyone else’s.
I’m another one hoping for a speedy recovery for BooMan and a quick return to the Pond.
Here’s to a speedy recovery.
They are human too.
Too many of them just…tend to forget amidst all the hype.
Get well soon.
Best of luck.

I too hope it’s nothing serious. Visiting a hospital is bad enough; getting admitted into one is a real downer, especially at Booman’s young and tender age.
my best wishes to BooMan also.
get well soon man, we miss you at DL!
He’s the best! God save us from the rest!
hope it’s nothing but a procedure.
keep us posted and we’ll all think good thoughts for him.
Oh my gosh – I literally gasped aloud. PLEASE keep us informed, and please share my love with him. I so want him to get well. He’s the King Frog in these parts, and I don’t want anything bad to happen to him at all.
Please let us know if there’s anything he needs that we can help with!!
Hope all is well (or will be very very soon).
I’ve been offline all day and just read this. I hope that BooMan is well
Sorry to hear this. I hope Boo makes a fast and full recovery.
And, to echo Cali, if there’s anything I can do, let me know.
I`m joining the above chorus, so that a group wish for BooMan`s speedy well-being, might carry more weight.
Adding my voice to the well-wishes – thanks for sharing the news Steven.
Aren’t we getting a bit ahead of ourselves here? The email I got didn’t indicate that he was ill or that he was at the hospital to deal with a health issue of his own. Everybody has peeps. It was really pretty vague.
Booman, I hope that the hugs from everybody here will have a healing effect and you will soon be at the keyboard again. Get well soon!!!!
Best wishes for a speedy recovery to whoever is in the hospital.
Ah….. (reading updates) Well, Booman can keep the hug, and pass on all the good wishes, because such things are never wasted when shared.
