Airplane! great movie - RIP, Leslie Nielsen. And Capt Bixley, your league sounds like the one my husband belonged to - they really played for the pizza and beer afterwards, lol! anyway, welcome - I'm new here too, and on triple therapy, i think, don't really know since this is a trial. And, yeah, I got it in the 70's too. Only shared a needle once in my life, but that was all it took... a cautionary tale for my children now.

In the interest of full disclosure I got my cataincy from being the captain of my softball team. We were in a league that I helped form so I was also called the comissioner. We called the league the "Derelict league". We always had a keg of beer at the game and the loser had to pay - unfortunately that was usually us - but we had fun - all of this of course occured "back in the day"

Hey, CaptBixley-
Greetings from one Capt to another. . . Heh-Heh! Having been through this tx then and now, you will likely have an interesting perspective. Glad you're here, and Welcome aboard. I;m doing Telaprevir, as is PJ and Karen, among others.
Regards, David

Hi Cap't and welcome to you!!
I am thinking there will be more and more of us here on triple therapy.
I'm in a study, so don't know exactly how I'm doing, but I will find out in a couple of weeks, when the 12 week Incivek part is over.
Best of luck on your journey!!
Hugs, PJ
