October 2nd, 2008 - “I’M FINALLY BACK”
I don’t know how many people actually read these columns I have been writing, but if you have, I’m sure you have noticed that there have been several long periods of time that nothing was posted.  I feel that I owe you an explanation of why I have not been fully committed in my writing. Last September I went for a routine medical exam and the result was that they found I had a possible “life threatening condition”.  I know what you may be thinking and no, it was not the big “C”.  Some of my internal organs were not where they were suppose to be.  I went through several months of different tests and finally in April I had major surgery to correct this condition.  In June, after the surgery, I started to have complications.  This resulted in another procedure which was successful.  No one seems to know how things got the way they were.  I did not have any symptoms or problems before the initial routine exam.  I am now healthy and ready to get back to the job at hand.I will start posting more weather tales in a couple of weeks.  I like to have several ahead so I will start my research and writing interesting stories that I hope you will enjoy as much as I enjoy writing them.Â
