GEEZ, THIS WAS A MIXED DAY ON THE POSITIVE SCALE. FIRST I WENT TO A NEW NEUROLOGIST (SEE POST IN "SURVIVOR STROKE SUPPORT" ON MESSAGE BOARD UNDER "SLEEP ALERT" ).FORMS, FORMS AND MORE FORMS. THEN I DROPPED THE CAR OFF FOR NEW TIRES. WHILE IT WAS BEING WORKED ON, MY WIFE AND I WENT TO LUNCH WITH SOME PEOPLE I WORKED WITH YEARS AGO. LOTS OF FUN.

AT LUNCH, I FOUND OUT ONE OF THE GROUP WHO HAD MOVED TO NASHVILLE, TENN. SUFFERED A STROKE RECENTLY. SO TOMORROW I CALL HIM. THEN I FOUND OUT MY EX-PARTNERS 19 YEAR OLD SON WAS FOOLING AROUND WITH FRIENDS AND A SHOTGUN. HE DECIDED TO PUT ON A VEST, AND THEY WANTED TO SEE IF IT WAS BULLETPROOF. THEY BURIED HIM WHILE I WAS IN FLORIDA.

THEN IT WAS OFF TO THE MALL FOR NEW WALKING SHOES. I MUST BE GETTING OLD. WHERE THE HELL DID THE CLOTHES COME FROM THAT THE KIDS (BOTH SEXES) WEAR NOW? FINISHED WITH THAT IT WAS OVER TO COTSCO TO REFILL THE MEDS. THEN THE 40 MINUTE RIDE HOME.

AFTER COOKING OUT, WE TOOK A STROLL TO THE LAKE TO WATCH THE SUNSET.

NOW HERE I AM. I THINK I'LL PACK THIS DAY AWAY.
