recently i hadn't been feeling well and my thoughts had been scrambled bad. jibberish texts to numerous people. falling down and having a hard time with overall balance. screaming migraines. call doctor ,go to hospital get ct scan . doctor says you have a mass. i say no i got to get my 13 year old to see pearl jam. for his first concert ever. you tell me. proceed to have brain surgery for removal. here i am. so far real good. thoughts clear. fooled a lot of people who said i didn't have a brain. clearly i did. any thoughts? pretty wild week. home and chillin. people that i thought were my best friends were my best friends. and others of aquaintance and friendship stepped up like champs. i used to be in doubt but discovered how rich i really am. and blessed. i am so lucky.

    as tough to read tougher to go through. i am not a big guy but lots of inner toughness and resolve.  i appreciate any and all good thoughts . all positive energy is great. shows i am not alone. that is where you are rich. for now just chillin at home with my wife and son. wife is the rock star. she holds down the fort when things are  ruff and doesn't fail. keeps it all together. she is a 20 out of 10. been together since 95. first show pj maple leaf gardens 96 toronto. she was in. all i can say is seize the day. take nothing and no one for granted. tell some one you love them. tell them what a great friend they are. go out and do something nice for someone. struggling business help in a way you can. where i buy my steaks etc. have sent 10 new customers . makes me feel good to help someone. steak was good too. you want me to cook for you too. going to make a nice donation to the hospital and earmark all those incredible nurses who didn't just help me but in their own way offered  encouragement in the spark of their eyes and look at me saying swelling hs gone down that took some of the fear away.

    you are welcome sorry it comes with a story like this but we always must show not only ourselves resolve but teach our children as well to thrive from a scary situation to be able to take care of themselves as there aren't always unicorns to do so. or a video screen. some old school is still a good thing with modifications of course.
