Hi Folks
Just checking in to let ya’ll know that I’m alive and well.
Well….as well as I can be at this time. It has been a long cold winter here in the High Country and to be honest, I’m sick of it!
Bless her precious heart, Michelle is undergoing a new round of chemo involving a drug called Xeloda and while the side effects are not hitting her as bad as they do a lot of people (thank God!), but she’s been a bit lethargic lately and for her…..that’s not a good thing. She’s always been such a dynamo and full of energy that to feel less than energetic is a real downer for her and, by extension, me.
I hate it for her but being a selfish kind of guy…I’m just praying and positive that the lethargy simply means that the drugs are working.
Yep….it’s ALL about ME!
I just want her to be healed and with me FOREVER.
As for me, I can’t seem to find the time, desire or inclination to write anything these days. Maybe it’s the winter ‘blahs’ or the fact that I’m lazy but, aside from ‘reading’ a bunch of historical biographies while working at butchering a ton of wood in the shop (I just discovered books on CD/Cassette)…..I’ve been well….a lazy SOB!
If you haven’t tried them….check out books on CD! Reading has always been a passion of mine and I’ll never stop reading but with the CD’s and Cassettes, I can ride my bike, do wood working or damn near anything and ‘READ’ at the same time. Too cool.
Do yourself a favor and read the biographies of Mark Twain, George Washington, Ben Franklin, Alexander Hamilton, Jefferson et al….DAMN! Those guys were simply amazing.
Men and women in past generations put our generation to abject shame.
We are not worthy of the life THEY allowed us to live.
Hopefully I’ll get into writing again soon but until then, thank you all for checking in on me.
See you soon.
Ron

You and Michelle are in my thoughts and prayers every day. I stop here daily so when you're ready to post a new story or rant, you can be sure your ever faithful "groupie" will be reading it! :) Warm hugs and good karma coming your way, reach out and grab it, quick!
I'm betting Michelle would be the last person to refer to you as ...selfish.
Glad she is doing well, even if with a bit less energy than she would like. Hopefully, that will come back to her soon.
You know you are missed here.
But we, your fans, are patient.
Now, I need to make a run to Barnes&Noble... thanks!
Be well, darlin'.
I'm just glad to hear that you and your lady are still with us and doing okay. Take your time and enjoy life.
Spend all the time you can with your lady. I pray she's with you forever but you never know so make the most of what you have now.
Don't worry about us. Your loyal readers will always be here. I check in at least a couple of times a week.
I wish you both the best. I went through a year of chemo myself back in 1998. It was hell for me Ron but it worked. I am still in recession.
That is one fine and tough woman you have if she can go through all the hell that chemo is and still get around and do things and smile at her man and the world.
Still praying for you both bro'.

Dropping by to see how you're doing. Sending Peace,Strength and Prayers for you and Michelle. Took me this long to rememeber my password and login lol.
I'm thinking you probably have a comment alert. We haven't heard from you in a long time. How are things in your neck of the woods? You and Michelle continue to be in my thoughts and close to my heart.
