The year is off and running. I sat down at my desk this morning and 2 1/2 hours flew by while doing the things I do. I up graded my security, straightened out a flaw with my insurance company, studied some on a business course, and studied some more on my weight loss program. Now I am going to take a break and chat with you a while. Not to long now because I haven’t scratched the surface in my busy business activities. Like Nino Brown said, “it’s always about business, never personal.”

While we continue to enjoy Spring like weather, Puerto Rico was rocked by a earthquake of massive proportions. Charlie and Zoe’s grandmother Carmen lives in Puerto Rico and I am waiting to hear confirmation that she is okay.

My health is progressing slowly but surely, like a turtle more than a hare. Weight is plateauing between 235 – 238 range with more input from other sources, i. e. exercise, supplements and a weight loss regimen closely allied with Mannatech products. I do not feel like a man with 4 of the 7 leading causes of death. My psoriasis, which was quite extensive, has receded approximately 95%.

Today’s post is more like a ‘how am I” letter because I am anxious to get back to work. One of the courses I am study is actually “How to Write” by Guideposts with the hoped for ending that they publish my writings. Another course deals with starting a viable online business so that I am living off my earnings and not just Social Security.

So that pretty much covers today. A couple of friends are celebrating their birthdays today and so would my dad had he still been living. He would have been 109. The End
