As we all know sometimes, either by choice or through things outside of our control, we go silent. I went real silent for a while. I managed to catch an unnamed bug, that’s by choice and a really long story, and it kicked my butt. Also my head, face, neck, shoulders, arms, ended up with a rash, sore, and burned. Oh well, you get the idea. This thing sucked big time. Leave it to me.
It would appear that in my absence a lot of things fell to the wayside. Oh crap. Now I’ playing pickup, catchup, and damage control. Where is the guys with the little white coats when you need them? Wait I can’t afford that right now. Again oh crap. Why is it that when one thing goes to hell in a handbasket everything follows it right down that hole? I remember an old episode of an old television show called Twilight Zone, shut up I already know I’m old, that involved a stop watch that actually stopped time. Now if everyone had one of these neat gadgets for when they needed to stop this crazy merry-go-round we call life think how much better things would be. Of course there are billions of people on this planet and if they all had watches like that then the whole world would never be going and we would all probably still be shopping for our dinners with clubs and rocks and hoping that long toothed cat didn’t eat us first. There is good and bad to everything but still… Me I’m trying to get back into the swing of things and that is never easy. I have to admit that I did manage to watch a few movies, get some much needed rest, and catch up on a couple of shows I like. Hey if you look at it the right way you can generally find an upside to almost anything. The biggest downside is I look twenty years older I think and that sucks. I need to find a magic cure for old age. I’m still not 100% and soon I will turn off the lights and curl up in bed and get some sleep, after I make a phone call that is, and have what I hope will be pleasant dreams. The problem with that is my fingers are itching to start working on my next book but not tonight. I need all the beauty sleep I can get. Well enough for tonight and hopefully things will continue to sail along peacefully for a while and I can keep my little boat upright. Wish me luck.

Life's downside to finding happiness, bliss, opportunity, wealth (be it monetarily or through stand up friends) love and whatever may come is the impending demon known as old age. Most frown upon it, others embrace it, and others try to out run it. The overall truth is that old age (sometimes used as a cuss word) is a basic amount of years experience one acquires while on this rock hurling through space. You Patricia, have a wealth, a huge conglomeration, and an infinite amount of genuine love that makes up your very wise beyond your "years" experience. Personally, I am honored, proud, and humble to have crossed paths with you. You've taught me lessons in our craft (that only a seasoned vet could have), listened when I've rambled, inspired me to push forward and so much more. You're my friend, secret knower, mother figure. At the end of it all and when that day comes, one of the things I've learned was to treat your life as currency and spend it wisely... talking with you is some of the wisest currency I've ever spent. Whatever this hiccup is that life has thrown your way, I know that you'll pick yaself up by the boot straps, dust off, and give it right back to that hiccup 100x over.
