Thanks for tracking that down, Patti. I didn't get a chance to see it when it was on. I'll definitely check it out now.

It's a good quality file, too. I really like the forum that it came from. Nice people there. Right, Grom?

From imdb.com:

Beloved US TV star Dick Van Patten is recovering after suffering a stroke. The 77-year-old Eight Is Enough star was taken to Cedar Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles last month after suffering a diabetic stroke, but the fun-loving actor is already bouncing back from the health crisis. Van Patten, who suffers from Type 2 diabetes, sustained some speech impairment and paralysis from the stroke, but he's already well on the way to making a full recovery. He says, "I thank my lucky stars that my stroke wasn't that bad. I could have easily died. What happened was I eat desserts and I'm not supposed to - I cheated. Then my blood sugar level suddenly shot up to a dangerously high level."

Let's hope that Dick has a speedy recovery!

Apparently, the folks at Carlton draught beer have these question/answer bottle caps on their beer. I thought it was pretty cool.

Pretty cool!
