Yesterday was Fathers Day. What a great day. Had the family over for brunch and I celebrated almost one year since my mitral valve surgery. It was the anniversary of discovering my problem when my Fathers Day present, last year, an Apple Watch that reads EKGs said I was in Afib. That started the process…
DetailsIt was exactly one year ago I found one that I had ruptured my mitral valve. The repair would require open heart surgery. So I am visiting a recent part of my life. It has been quite the year. Can’t I say I am completely recovered? No, but I am 90% recovered. Just today I…
DetailsSo it’s almost one year since my open heart surgery. And the doctors are still working on getting my heart working at its best. Now it seems I need another “cath” procedure.

I left my family and had 44 daily proton radiation treatments to cure my cancer. Fifteen years…
DetailsI am a product of the 60’s. I was born in 1953. I was 10 when John Kennedy was assassinated. I remember that day very well. I was 15 years old in 1968 when Martin Luther King Jr. was killed in April of that year. And I remember where I was when I heard the…
DetailsI’ve never been stopped by the police for DWB, driving while black. I can’t even imagine a police officer stopping me for anything other than some sort of perceived violation I have committed. And over the course of my driving career I have been stopped many times, received some traffic tickets and gone on my…
Details1953. That’s what keeps popping into my mind. That’s the year I was bored. I wasn’t around for the first eight and a half months of the year, having been born on August 16th. And I really don’t remember anything from back then.. Not even sure how significant 1953 was. I do know that Dwight…
