Wow! Its been another few years. I still stop by and read the newbie posts every couple of months and I even responded to the "100 things you don't know about me" post that Steve started quite some time back. Boring guy that I am, however, I could only come up with thirty some responses!

Since my last entry, my wife and I have moved again (either our last or penultimate move) and we are now in Texas. Funny place for an Eskimo to land isn't it? Well, I'm also half Arkansas hillbilly so I guess that helps ... It has now been a little over ten years since that fateful night I woke up in my hotel room suffering a hemorrhagic stroke. Life and normalcy have been continuing and I remain thankful to God for my life, my family, my friends, my recovery, and every thing he has given us.

Our grand daughters continue to make us proud in all they are and do. Ages now? 16, 13, and 2. The 13 year old came to spend two weeks with us this summer and we took her to Vegas to see David Copperfield (what a great experience!) then the Grand Canyon. What a majestic and awe inspiring place to experience. Most importantly we were able to spend two great weeks with such an inspiring young lady.

Now living in TX, we are about a five hour drive from our two year old Grand daughter, though we've only made that trip a couple of times we hope to do it again soon. We're also about a 12 hour drive from our older two grands. We haven't done that yet, hopefully we'll be able to do so soon.

All this rambling is my long hand way of saying life after stroke can be great! Thank you to all my doctors, nurses, and therapists (and their entire teams) who made this possible!
