starting over

It's been almost six months since I last posted anything here, and that was an entry re-directing my regular readers to a journal I'm keeping about my wild ride through Medical Wonderland.

Does anybody keep blogs any more, or are we all using social media like Facebook? I don't know, but I think I'll resurrect this to give me a place to rant and rave about issues other than my medical situation and see who notices. I'll need to stay away from politics, though, to avoid giving myself a heart attack. At the moment, I'm looking forward to a trip to Boston to help celebrate a grandson's first birthday and our anniversary. Daughter Megan is also celebrating a birthday but she's in Seattle and we'll have to use Skype or extrasensory perception to get her involved in our party.

It's a sad commentary on the State of Florida that none of our kids are likely to move back to Florida, and our governor and state legislature are doing their best to make it all even worse. Oops, there I go on a political topic. Ugh. I can feel the bad taste in my mouth already. It's time to think positive thoughts, like maybe the prospect of seeing FSU win the NCAA basketball tournament. FSU went to the finals against UCLA on March 25, 1972, and lost by a close margin - a date that lives in our memory because it was our wedding night, and of course we had to stay up to see the conclusion of the game. Our marriage has had a much happier history than FSU's basketball program!
