One more time?

So, still around.

Since the last one of these I've been way down, and now back up.  My ability to write, here or anywhere, has fallen off, and I am missing some other stuff that I always had.  Faced through efforts that were intended to stretch out the timing - so hey, you can get another year, or maybe even two.   But in what form?

My conclusion at this point is, no more, no thanks.  I have gone now to absolute minimum on the medical stuff and, I think, was able to walk back up to being me, more or less.  It may not last a year, or even less, but I'd rather do it that way and be me.

And especially to be with my beloved wife, and carry forward.  She and I have have been together 30 years, and I have never loved her more than now.  She is brilliant and I am a lucky, blessed man.

Plus we have a great dog.  She's at my feet now, and stays with us, the 3-year westie.  As far as I can tell she loves us, other folks, and other dogs.
