[games_access] from RobertFlorio speech thank you. Recovery.

[Robert Florio]

Thank you so much Michelle that means a lot that sounds like crazy airport
madness. I still have to catch on some school work buying my book classes
start again the end of the quarter October 2.  What an experience I think I
did a really good job considering I wrote that speech today's before going
to the hospital didn't have anything else or you'll have taught me and my
own passion I got great responses and really inspired me even more to get an
initiative started.  Maybe get to speak at their next conference as a
keynote speaker.

I got your e-mail when I got home.

I'm debating whether or not to contents of video a smaller file to play on
my web site because I don't know if I can do that or not and if I want
everyone to be able to have access to something like that I'm not sure I
know what do you think someone needs to see it more than just myself.

I thought you had my cell phone number I think you called me on it but don't
worry about it I'm very anxious go to work in that vote I think that will
help to get out our message so much got very much good response positive
from that remark.  The book.
Robert

Hi Robert! Sounds like everything went GREAT and I'm glad that you 
are out of the hospital -- what a scare!

I hope you got my message about being stuck at the Atlanta airport 
all day Thursday -- I finally ended up just turning around and flying 
back to Illinois at the end of the day because I just could not get 
out of airline limbo. My cell phone wasn't working either so I had no 
one's number and you left messages on my home phone -- which is fine 
since the cell wasn't working but I didn't know you had that number 
so I didn't call to check messages to see if you'd left your number. 
Ah well! It's just airline madness. Frustrating, yes, but what can 
you do?

REST UP!!!!! And I'm so proud of you for the great job you did at 
Games for Health!

Michelle
