A catching up; of sorts:
Letter read last night at my Support Group by Chris.
Hello everyone,
Since the last time we met a lot has happened in the world. The earth has moved, water has rose, volcanoes have blown and the Queen (God love her) jumped out of a helicopter!
I will be honest with you all; I have not been feeling well for a few months now. I have been blacking out and I have fallen a few times. I have had several neck thingy bobs, which is technical jargon for Carotid Duplex Ultrasound and MRi. See, neck thingy bob is much more understandable. Blood work up the kazoo and I am in the process of meeting and breaking in several new to me Doctors and helping put their children through college or paying off their mortgages. I am sure they will get use to me soon but I always have fun with health care professionals.
They are always so nice and that’s OK, but after a few minutes going over my medical history they tend to become rather attentive. They quickly realize that the same- o same- o did not just walk in. I tend to have the upper hand in all areas except billing. No one wins that battle.
The long and short of it as of this evening is I don’t know. Tests are still being done and evaluations are still being drawn. May be next month I will have some real news to pass along. Until then, I will continue to uphold my part in the doctor/patient process. (And have a little fun with these guys.
My mom is still with us. It is a slow and rather agonizing process. My prayer every night is that I may outlive her. She is still a blessing to those she is around and I know that inside, she is at peace.
I am not sure about all of you, but I am rather tired of this heat. As we move into September I know the hard part is behind us for another year but this dry heat crap is getting old. I tell friends to turn their oven to 106 and stick their head in that. IT’S A DRY HEAT!
Other than that crap, life is very good and I have so much to be thankful for. Why just last week my daughter in law texted that she wasn’t sure how it happened but I was going to be a grand-father yet again. For those counting; this will be number EIGHT. Damn I’m old!
Issue number 12 of the Justice League with a cover price of $3.99 is selling on e-bay for $25.00. Ha, I got mine. For details, consult Chris!!
I continue to LIVE my friends; I truly hope you don’t mind. I love you all and I wish and pray for you all - happiness and good health.
Be strong for each other because both Cancer really sucks.

Bringing my love of N.C. Wyeth to the Hovel.
As most who follow my FB postings know, I have a big love of N.C. Wyeth’s art. There is just something about his work which speaks to my youth when I read may works which were graced with his talent. The library was a wonderful and magical place for me.
I hope you will become a fan of the website ‘Golden Age Comic Book Stories’.

Psalm 19:1–2
1 The heavens are telling of the glory of God;
And their expanse is declaring the work of His hands.
2 Day to day pours forth speech,
And night to night reveals knowledge.

Twenty minutes well spent
If you have 20 minutes to simply stop and listen to this amazingly far reaching address by Neil Gaiman to the University of the Arts Class of 2012; please press the play button after the ‘jump’ below. I believe it will inspire you to “MAKE GOOD ART.”
To my grandchildren and anyone else who happens upon my little hovel on the interweb; know that you are the only you. It is important that you believe and be respectful of yourself.
I hope you enjoy:
