I know I dropped off the map...but I am back now. Just saying hello and explaining - not looking for sympathy...for the past year...mom gets cancer, dad gets dementia and cancer, mom goes terminal - then dies, buried in Arlingtion National, Dad progresses the wrong way - cannot live on his own, has cancer surgery, nothing to be done about the dementia - I stay out of state to help dad, then move dad to Colorado to try to help more, lose my job due to time away, dad now in assisted living in Colorado, doing okay....I get new job, life returning to normal, restrung the slot head today....it sounds pretty good.
To all the old friends - say hello - even the lurkers - come up for air - say hello...any events on the horizon? public or private....to all who met her - Sam says hello too.
Mark
Man that rough.... prayer said for you and your family. Welcome back we missed you. |

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | Mark, I'm trying to catch up, too. I retired earlier in the year and am doing a lot of playing, some gigging, lots of motorcycling, some teaching, and haven't been good staying up on these boards. Sorry to hear of your parents. Were you affected any by the floods? |

Location: Charlotte, NC | elginacres, we haven't met (I just joined a few days ago) but reading your post quickly put my own 'problems' in perspective pretty quick, so I thank you for that and wish you and your father the best.
And I think it's awesome that your a school principal and you play your guitar in the hallways at school. There was a teacher who I first knew from 4th grade (he bounced from one grade / position to another as I went through school) and he always had a guitar with him. All the students loved him and I have fond memories of him playing Beach Boys tunes outside his classroom between classes... Who knows what impact your music will have on some students :-) Might even make some of them want to pick up a guitar themselves! |
