Bloody Hell

There have been little or poor posting here on my soapbox because......

Been sick again (Z-pack this time), lost an ex-co-worker (XCW) to a massive MI (he was 5 years younger than I), visited another XCW ( 3 yrs older) who has had his melanoma from 11 years ago hit his organs like a "Fat Man" of cancer without warning and losing ground, -this makes me appreciate the small stuff I have to deal with.
Not back in the hospital, able to walk-talk-and-eat-cornstalks and waking on the proper side of the grass is outstanding and I am appreciating it. Even if work is consuming great loads of regulatory crap and dictates. Pain is Nature's Way of telling you you are self-aware (parse and diagram that!).
Pray for those who aren't as well-off as I. Thanks.
