Gentlereaders,
It has been some time since I’ve been in touch with you, and
as is often the case, no news is good news, or at least qualified good
news. There is nothing new going on in
the medical front, which is of course good news. I continue in the mode of “generally fit for
duty” even if inclined to nap a bit more often than might be considered normal
for a person of my young(-ish) age. More
definitive opinions will be offered following my next MRI which will be next
week. In the meantime there are no signs
(possibly other than my customary lethargy) to suggest any deterioration in my
condition. No alarm bells are ringing,
but I appreciate all the good thoughts and prayers that you may spare in the
meantime.
We returned from our month in Florida about two weeks ago
and we continue to get back into the mode of pre-spring in Delaware. Of course “pre-spring” is just another way of
saying “winter.” Wintry mix developing
for the evening. North Florida proved again the strict definition of “sub-tropical”
climate. We even had a freeze or two, a
good nor’easter, and plenty of dreary days, but we did get the shorts on a time
or two, and came home with some evidence of a lackadaisical approach to
sunscreen.
My brothers and wives, as well as Zora’s sister, visited while
we were there, which was great. The
brothers and I played for the champion golfer of the year award for the first
time, but sadly, we all tied for third place.
Beats the heck out of shoveling solid rain, however, so we will carry
over the championship until next year and expect better golfing conditions to
prevail.
We drove by Atlanta on the way home, stopping to see son
John and his family. While it was colder
and drearier in Atlanta, it was still fun to be with the kids and the grandgirl
for a couple days.
Thanks again for your love and support. I will do all in my power to keep the good
news coming.
Ross
