Birthday weekend and I can't help but compare this year to last.  Last year at this time I was early in my treatment for stomach cancer, getting most of my food via a stomach bypass tuve, out of work and no health insurance.  This year I'm mostly recovered,  maybe a smidge of cancer activity that should be gone soon, no bypass tube since January, employeed and have health insurrance.  I also became a grandfather for the first time last month.

My mind and spirit have also been coming back.  I have a desire to write again, and have some good ideas to work on.  I've also started taking more photos again.  I'm hoping to have a few ready to post soon.

Take care my friends.  Where will you be next year?
