    Happy New Year…since I did wake up…

    Three years ago, I woke up in Centennial Hospital having watched the fireworks through the window of my hospital room after my second heart attack in two weeks.  Today I woke up still trying to shake off the last two weeks…the first half sick with something that seems to have morphed into a flu that Read more

    Thank you…just a bit more…

    ok…maybe a lot more… I know it is not a new year yet, but it is a new day.  I have learned that every day we are fortunate enough to be given is an opportunity. But it is so close to a new year, I will make this my first resolution. I have decided to Read more

Then by the second tournament I was headed for a repeat of the last several years when I found myself in twenty fourth place. Had it been 24 out of 100, I would have cheered; but it was Read more
