A hospital stay

Right now my wife is staying with our 4 year old at the hospital so that I could have a couple of days outside and pay some bills. He can't be left alone so you are pretty much stuck in the room 24 hours a day where there with him. They drained about 5 lbs of fluid from his abdomen last week (weight went from 33 to 28) and he is much more comfortable right now. He aquired a infection in his blood at the hospital and is now on a 10 day IV antibiotic treatment. If all goes well he will get out on Thursday. If not, well, we are currently at 3 weeks in the hospital, but we have done much longer.
When working on Marble Blast I didn't get very familiar with the client/server stuff of Torque. On my current project I've had to dig down into the details and I now have a much better feel for this part of Torque. Once I get this new game out the door - hopefully sooner rather than later - I think I'll be able to write a short doc/tutorial describing some more elements of what Torque can be made to do. In my own case just seeing some sample code that works has been the best way to understand Torque. Thanks to Melv and others for all the code/script samples that are available - they are better than gold...
