At the end, at the beginning

I finally finished reading all the blog entries and comments up to today.
I cannot thank Chris enough for creating it in the first place.
Nor can I adequately thank all those who dropped in to check on me and wrote their comments.
Now that I'm back to what passes for normal (barring a few deficits we hope will get better), I'm now faced with the ugly realization that, since I'm not going to die just now, I have to figure out what to do with the rest of my life. (The purported last words of the Buddha were "Strive on with diligence." Can't think of a better slogan to live one's life by.)
So, expect some more writing (especially if that publisher ever decides to buy my novel), maybe some video, and as much general hell-raising as I can get up to.
Visitors, electronic or physical, always welcome.
Know that I love you all.

How you know who your friends are

To all who read or wrote or both:

Words cannot express my gratitude to my lady love, Chris, for putting all this blog stuff together.
I know it's been a great relief to many to read what's going on with me.
I'm reading it today (24 July) for the first time, and choking up.
Thanks to all my friends for caring so much.
