Where DOES the time go?
I see it's been something over a year since I posted an update here. Sorry about that.
My health is about as good as I could expect, all things considered. The leukemia is what it is, though as one of my doctors points out, CLL is a disease that you die with, but not usually one that you die from. In February, Lark and I signed up for a medically-supervised weight-loss program offered by Huntsville Hospital. I've taken off a bit more than 70 lbs, and am now back to roughly what I weighed when we got married in 1978. I've been taken off cholesterol-lowering meds entirely, and I've had the dosage of one of my blood-pressure meds reduced by 75%.
Work continues to be work. Well, it does when the Congress isn't being more stupid than usual. But I'm giving some thought to retiring sooner rather than later. Sooner being likely sometime after May of 2017, as opposed to five years after that, which had been my original plan.
In other minor details, I was initiated 1st Degree in the Gardnerian Tradition last night. Details available privately to those of you who know me well enough to ask.
