Before retiring from his "Inside Track" column, Peter wrote and blogged prolifically about his fight with cancer. Although his current medical problem is not cancer-related, Peter is not in a position to blog at this time. Please know that he is stable and recovering, and has a supportive team of people making sure that he gets excellent care.

Peter and his caregivers request that you not visit him or call him in the hospital at this time. He's trying to rest. If you'd like to leave comments here for Peter, please do. We'll share them with him. And please feel free to send him cards or well-wishes, care of Seven Days, 255 S. Champlain St. Burlington VT 05401.
