From the outside in

Well, here I am. - Jubal Early, floating in space

I keep saying that lately. It's kind of an expression of attempted equanimity, in the face of several things that are really not so very okay.

Thing One: I have a hernia. I might have two. It needs surgery.

Thing Two: While I'm under the knife (terrible expression) I'm getting another major thing done to relieve an ongoing problem. It's not the most delightful thing ever.

Thing Three: Because of Things 1 & 2, I shall be grounded and trapped and furthermore miserably prevented from riding my bikes or doing any other thing that makes life worth living for 6 weeks.

On the other hand, I'm really very strong these days, and I can probably find a way through it all. I've been making a list of thing I'm allowed to do after surgery that will also make life worth living. Suggestions welcome.

Ooh, must add "Walk with Nikon" to the list. I never do that anymore, and I do so love it.

Anyway, there are cherry blossoms out these days, very pink. You should go look at them.
