It's been way too long since I've had a chance to come by and I apologize for that to each of you.

It seems I can no longer keep up with the basic daily demands and end up crashing for up to 14 hours at a time. Not to mention some addition and unrelated health challenges which have cropped up unexpectedly. I've progressed so rapidly in the last 45 days the family reunion we've been planning for 3 years to go to Disney World this month is here. BUT! I have been told explicitly regarding my traveling, "Definitely NOT," by my doctors.

This week has been tough with the sudden loss of Steve Jobs, my age and choking up when I even think I will never see Disney World again. Life is what it is and what will be will be. I'm just very happy my wife got her trip to Hawaii and a cruise in before I reached this point.

While they are gone I will be home by myself with my two dogs. I do have a couple of guys from church to check on me twice a day. God forbid I die and decompose for a whole week before my wife gets home to find me. THAT would be a definite "Dyson Moment!" I know, sick sense of humor.

Looking at the postings, you guys have been very busy going in all sorts of direction. I only wish the best for all of you. I hope to see you again soon.
