I WOULDN’T BE DOING THIS IF I WASN’T SATISFIED IN MY OWN MIND as to the nature of it and the fact that not only will I have an average lifespan but in the meantime I will not be affected in anyway by it, Thompson said. Now of course nobody knows the future but that has been in the history for almost three years now in terms of no symptoms and no sickness.
Ahem, ahem...clearing throat...CAPS ARE MINE!!!
This from Captains Quarters:
UPDATE IV: I’ve made a few calls on my lunch break, and here’s the scoop. Fred’s had this for almost three years now, and he’s not missed any work or slowed down at all during that time. He and his wife had a child during this period, which gives an indication that he has plenty of stamina; after all, shooting schedules for weekly television programs are not known to be kind to cast and crew.
Why is he announcing this now? Word is that he wants to make sure that his supporters feel comfortable with the issue before proceeding, and he’s interested in the commentary. He’s a straight shooter and he didn’t want this to be a surprise during a campaign — he’s laying his cards on the table. For Fred supporters, that thought process should be very encouraging.
