My posting has been sporadic.  For that you have my apologies.

Saturday we lost a friend and coworker, just as I was facing down some medical appointments of my own.  He’d had medical issues that seemed in check, so this came as a very unpleasant surprise.

It might sound strange, but I’m just not quite at a point where I think I can discuss this with this blog… I may never be, that’s life.

My own medical prognosis is generally in the positive direction with some stumbles along the way.  Yesterday I had a surgery, so today I did the bravest thing of all and decided to take a day off work to recover.  Yes, you may all gasp now.
