Just checking in...

Still here. Working on the book, and it's coming along better than I could hope.
Medical issues still a hassle, but I guess it's the price of living long enough for stuff to start breaking. Lucky me.

Still sober and once again have quit smoking. Over 2 years sober, and 30 days today without a cigarette.

Visit to the cardiologist on the 18th. Nothing wrong, just having a stress test to see where things stand.

My oldest brother died when he was five years older than I am now. First (and yeah..only) heart attack. Died after work, walking to his truck in the parking lot to go home.

Procedure on the compression fracture of my C5 vertebrae on the 10th of August.

I will not go quietly...

My new disclaimer...yeah I know.

Okay, the old disclaimer was tired. The ideas were outdated and keeping me stuck in a place I don't want to be anymore...so now for something more refreshing.

I have recently changed my views regarding women. Seems I had some issues with the fairer sex due to past pain and self- centered fear. (Yes...duh applies.)

I'm done with that.

Being in recovery has helped me change my entire life, perceptions and attitudes. I cannot change my history but I can change my today and my future.

I recently realized that the women I know in recovery are some of the strongest, bravest, most gentle and kind teachers I have ever had. You exemplify integrity and spiritual growth, and I hope you know who you are.

Some may know of my past marital and relationship history and been a participant in them as well. It's past and that's where it stays...in the past.

I own my part in those failures but claim no more responsibility in any misery you may be experiencing. I am sorry, but it's time to get off the cross. We need the wood.


Thank you all...
