Long time...

Retired NASA - I already told this story.

Sold house. Get this. A day after signing the contract I end up in the hospital with an abdominal infection. 18 days (yes, 18!!!) in the hospital. Got out just in time to sign on the house sale, 40 pounds lighter and so weak I couldn't walk, etc. Couldn't contribute anything to the move.

We got out of Texas and are in our house in Tennessee right now. I'm still living under a "don't lift more than 10 pounds" limit my wife strictly enforces (I had a couple surgeries last month).

More later. The mountains are beautiful today. The birds are pretty (I find the yellow finches particularly attractive). Fish fry tonight on a pontoon boat on one of the lakes. Concert in the park at another lake Monday. Bar-b-q party a few days ago at, well, yet another lake. Haven't pulled out the clubs yet but our house is on the 11th tee at Druid Hills golf course - Fairfield Glade, TN.

I'll try to stay in touch. Are my buddies still here?
