Not that anyone is really reading my posts, but if you have, then you know it has been over a year since I posted anything on this webpage. The last post was Nov 3, 2024. That should tell you something.

The election of the criminal administration of he who shall not be named had a profound and disappointing effect on my psyche. That and a total knee replacement put a lot of things on hold for me. I had intended to use my recovery from surgery as an opportunity to write. But the depression and the pain drugs made it difficult for me to put any energy into it.

Time heals all wounds, they say, but mine was extended with other health issues, a side-effect of getting old. My thyroid has always been underactive and I’ve been on medication for this for years. Somehow, my doctor got the dosages all screwed up, and it has taken a good 4 months and we are still not there.

But I have recovered enough of my energy to once again do some writing. I am very close to finishing my third book, basically a memoir, which will be out before Christmas. The most positive thing is that I have decided to retire (again), at least be semi-retired. I will never stop working to some degree. I have plenty of things to keep me busy, but that is the way I like it.

Anyway, I just need to get in the habit of tweaking the webpage as I can’t bring myself to pay for someone to develop it when I know I can build it. I should have lots more time after Dec 12.

Take care everyone, hope to have lots more on the page in the coming months. That is if the good Lord is willing and the creek don’t rise.

Peace!
