Kevin Kline, the current president of Professional Association for SQL Server, started blogging recently on the SQL Server magazine web site. One of his recent posts describes his recent brush with death. Wow, that's some scary stuff. I think I will be afraid to take antibiotics from now on.
He mentions something about deep thinking to do and reassessing the priorities in his life. I just hope that SQL Server and the SQL Server community will still be high on the list of Kevin's priorities since he is one of the most dedicated and knowledgeable professionals in the SQL Server community.
