Although my recovery is coming along fine, my mobility is limited by abdominal tenderness. I've been on the couch or in bed for days on end and it is annoying to say the least. The other night brought a beautilul sunset with bright long shadows that enticed me from...

I had my final surgery on Thursday to reverse my ileostomy and I'm being released from the hospital in a few hours. Woo-hoo! All systems seem to be working fine and I'm digesting scrambled eggs & pancakes as I write this. I still have a month or so of healing...

Surgery went well, stayed in Delta Memorial 6 days. The re-attachment of my large intestine failed the first few tries, but he finally got it together without a leak. Because it was tenuous he performed a temporary ileostomy on my small intestine on the...

As I mentioned, tomorrow I go in for my 2nd surgery. I'm looking forward to it and getting my intestines back to normal. The worst part is having to stay in the hospital bed for 7 days. We are in the middle of our first hay cutting this year, don't know if we...

It's been a cold and wet winter here in Delta compared to normal. For us it's still a lot milder than Meeker and we are enjoying it daily. We get a lot of light snow that melts off the same day. The temps are normally well into the 40's by now but...

Summer in Meeker is a short-lived thing, and this year it was very comfortable. Sandi and I took several trips to see Joe and Anita in Missouri, even spent a lot of time looking at property to purchase. In the end, nothing came of it as there isn't much in the...

Not much news recently. As if you wanted to know, I had hernia surgery, all went well. We have had a very mild winter so far, we're in the middle of the second warm spell which is melting all previous snow causing a 2nd mid-winter 'mud season'. ...
I've been trying to lose some weight since I moved to Florida in April and I finally hit my first goal. I started at a whopping 277 and set a target on 230, which I reached today! 47 pounds shed! The trick for me was to exercise regularly. I began tracking...

Fun event, but a little bit pricey. I guess they need to cover the cost of giving away bacon at two water/bacon stations during the run, and at the bacon party afterwards. Oh, and also pay for the big honkin' heavy bacon finisher medallions.

Got up early and drove 30 minutes north to Blanchard Park for the Orlando Runners Club 5K. This was a spur of the moment idea when I ran across a blurb for the run online. I haven't done a full 5K for several years but felt I was in shape enough to do it in...
