I’m doing better (witness my occassional return here) for the most part. I’m pretty much recovered from the two eye operations last year, though I do still have stitches. I’m mostly doing OK with the Celiac, but I do get some cross contamination every month or so and that leads to an unpleasant couple of weeks. The latest thing has been physical therapy to deal with degenerating joints in my upper spine. Lots of exercises and stretching of the neck and the supporting muscles, but I’ve done well enough with that to have the visits to the therapists end just this last week. The exercizes will never end.

The next few things coming up for us should be more fun. My wife earned 4 nights at Couples in Jamaica in September. Using vouchers she’s earned from the airline our airfare for both of us is under $500 total. And it’s an all inclusive resort. Not a bad deal for a week’s vacation. And 3 weeks later we have a 2 week cruise from L.A.to the Hawaiian islands and back. We may even get to visit the set of the movie our nephew wrote, The Gangster Squad, while we’re passing through Los Angeles. Sean Penn is playing mobster Mickey Cohen, with Josh Brolin as the head of the LAPD team in the late 40’s intent on keeping the east coast mob out of southern California. There’s a lot of buzz about it, particularly how good his script is. Check it out online. The cast is amazing.

I hope all is well with everyone?
