What's keeping me busy?

  • Work
  • Personal crises (plural) - some resolved, some not
  • Getting older - it sure ain't for sissies
  • Non-serious but recurring illnesses (may be related to previous item)
  • Did I mention work?
  • Preparing for my niece's out-of-state wedding this month (she asked me to play piano and I couldn't decline
  • Getting older - wait, yeah, that, along with loss of short-term memory
  • What are we talking about again? Oh, right.
  • Legal problems brought on by our younger son


On the whole, it could be worse. I'm still looking down at the grass instead of up at it.
