DECEMBER UPDATE:
Well seem to be getting this update out a little late.
Oh well, no big thang I guess. Anyway November was a
pretty dreary month here. Thanksgiving was nice but
perhaps a bit too quiet -- what happened to all those
dysfunctional family dinners I used to go to? Ah, the
good old days. Didn't get much snow in November at all,
a great disappointment. And so far none to speak of
this month either. Also just a few days ago I almost
fell into respiratory collapse and had to go to the
ER up at Deaconess. They treated me with the speed of
a gunshot victim and pumped me full of massive steroids.
Which seemed to do the trick so after making sure I was
okay an hour later they sent me home with Rx for more
steroids. Makes me kinda restless, those steroids. I now
see why athletes on the damn things go ballistic every
once in a while. Fortunately I haven't been on them that
long. So the result is that while I am feeling very bad
physically my brain is pumping overtime. In fact I was
up to 4:30 the other morning reading Emily Dickinson.
Well one thing about all of it is that I am counting my
blessings even more than usual this Christmas. And I
wish a very happy holiday to everyone out there --
everywhere.
Best wishes to all,
