Memorial Day Weekend

It's Memorial Day in the midst of COVID!  I'm going a bit stir crazy.  I miss the physical presence of my friends.  My family.  And dating.

Although I return a week ago with mighty expectations, my computer never posted anything I wrote.  So I've made some adjustments and it loos like it is now working.  We'll see.

I was away several years due to poor health.  In fact, I thought I was on the verge of leaving this planet.  Thankfully, I did not leave permanently -- just was a bit sidetracked.  Thankfully I'm here, but I realize now that I have approximately 4 years of catching up to do to let you know what has been happening during my absence.  I have much to tell, so I'll try to take it all in chunks going forward.  So please bear with me.  It's been quite a journey.  I also need to look back to see what I have written previously.

I hope my little audience has not left me.  If you're still there, I encourage you to write me.  If there are any questions, don't hesitate to ask.

One piece of important news at this writing.  My youngest twin daughter gave birth to her first child on May 19.  This little bundle is my latest grandson.  They named him Theo.  He is cute as a button.  This makes number four.  I have three other grandchildren, 2 boys and a girl, all courtesy of my son.  Of those, I've only been able to stay connected to 1.  He is the son that had with his wife.  The other two are from the same other mother, a former girlfriend, but due to the fact they she and my son have a contentious relationship, I've not been able to have any relationship with them.  I don't get pictures or status  updates or anything.  She get child support from my son....he doesn't get any updates or pictures either.  So I grieve their loss.  But there is nothing I can really do.

Life goes on.
