Health wise: I had a few rough days last week, but haven’t had time to write or do anything about it. Here’s what happened, last Sunday I got some deep bone pain … the kind I haven’t felt since before Proton Therapy. The odd thing is, it was in my left leg, where there has never been any pain before.

I thought to myself “man, this isn’t a good thing”. Unfortunately, the meds never even come close to helping with this pain. I thought, “here we go again” … but luckily, within a few days it was gone and I’ve been basically pain free for a few days now … and that’s a good thing.

So, even though I don’t need to return to Boston for six months, there is a possibility that I may if need be … this is a tale without an ending yet.

Besides that situation, I’ve been pretty darn good, and proud of what I’ve accomplished so far. Work has been excellent and business has been reasonably well … so no complaints there.

Now last week I wrote a piece about my little friend in Sweden who did some great paintings and I received quite a few emails about that! … which is great. I had the most fun writing and reviewing that art work … now I have to send a few emails to Sweden … isn’t it wonderful that we can have friends around the globe and communicate freely and instantly!

I have been working on my “emotions” database and hoping I can get some time to speak with my friend David L. about helping me sort out the best data selections that I should be collecting. Always good to have other opinions, and professional ones at that.
This weeks radio was pretty good, this coming Tuesday we’ll have Peter Diamondstone and Jane Newton of Vermont’s Liberty Union Party live at the studio … they are always fun guests to have on and always good for a great political discussion.

OK … that’s it for tonight, I have a few things to do for clients and a tremendous amount of email replys to write! Hope your all well and that all have a great week!
