Doc Searls has been in the hospital for a week, and many of us have been following the saga via his blog. Happily, as I learned during a visit yesterday in Cambridge, he’s seeing “light at the end of the digestive tunnel” and is back on real food as opposed to feeding tubes.

Doc is a treasure — to his family, his colleagues and his friends, and a guiding light in so many ways. To be his colleague is a constant pleasure and learning experience. To be his friend is a joy.
