Yes, it’s been a while since I’ve written or posted anything.  I’ve been busy.

I have pretty much recovered from all the surgeries, to the point that I almost feel normal.

I felt good enough at the end of October to accept an invitation to go down to South Texas to the hunting lease I was a member for many years.  It was an incredible experience: 4 days with all of my old friends.  A cold front blew in and the weather was mild to chilly. Hunting was “so-so”, but the fellowship was extraordinary, and so was the food. (we never skimped on meals at the lease)

I’ve been hunting with this group since 1990:

We came to shoot...

So it’s now December and there’s a lot going on around the home front.  My Mother-in-Law is in for a week, my ex-Sister-in-Law is in town for a few days, and my Brother-in-Law now lives in Houston.  We are all going to Austin tomorrow to watch my Daughter-in-Law graduate from UT with her Masters Degree in Nursing.  Then we drive back back to Houston where we will all attend a Texans game on Sunday.

I have 2 more hunting trips planned between now and February.  Then it’s time to get out the fishing gear and the kayak.

It’s good to have health and family!

How's that Hope and Change workin' out for you?
