Holly crap does this virus ever go away? Day 8 and I'm still coughing and hacking away. When NyQuil becomes your best friend there is definitely a problem. I was suppose to go hiking in Sedona today with a girlfriend from St. Louis and my brother but had to cancel. I am so over this cold. Every time I think I'm well it knocks me down. Back to do nothing I guess.

It has been a long time since my last post. I guess I have been so busy I haven't thought about getting on the computer. I believe that is a good thing. Plus I got hit with that nasty thing that is going around. I have had it for a week. Everyone that has had it has said they had it for weeks. I hope not it is awful. If you haven't gotten it wash your hands a lot. Well Bobby and I are settled back in, and Alex is home. She is beautiful with her dark red hair. She likes it too. I have had many old friends come in from out of town it is really great to reconnect. Bobby is going to try out for a team in St. Louis this May. That would be so great if he could make the team we will see. I think this winter it would be nice to spend more time around family. My health cancer wise seems to be OK. I hate to say much more than that in fear of jinxing it. I will try to be more in touch.

I'm back at home with Bobby and loving it. I know my blogging has lessened in the past couple of months, but I have been quite busy so that's good. I realize Mike is never coming back. Most likely he has moved on to another place were we don't exist. Which I have come to the conclusion is OK. We had a really great run and that can never be taken away. Now I am going to live a new life with new adventures. I am going to have to take risks and do things I probably would never have done before by myself. Things of the unknown can be scary and it is hard to step out of your comfort zone. As time goes by which I have none to waste I must react quicker. While Bobby is here getting more exercise in is easier. That is what he has to do to maintain for hockey. I am heading over to California next week to see friends and to take care of business. Then a friend of mine is coming over and we are going to head down to San Diego for some R&R for her she needs it bad.

Yesterday was something else. Bobby and I started our adventure just fine. We were breezing our way to Vegas. I always play it safe and keep the cruise 8-miles over the speed limit. Since when is it they can radar you coming at you. The minute he saw me the lights came on. OK I get pulled over. I lost my drivers licence thank god just put the sticker on for new registration that morning. Had no new insurance card, but it was on my phone, he said I had to have the piece of paper. He had clocked me going 82 in a 70. I told him I hadn't had a ticket since I was 20. Pretty impressive huh. So after Bobby give me a rash of shit. The nice officer gave me a non moving violation ticket for 72 dollars. Nothing on my record and warned us they were heavy all the way into Vegas. That was the beginning of a lucky day. WE get to Vegas. Bobby and I have our own rooms at the MGM Mansions near there Villa. Janet looks great and all the men look at her. We went to see KA it was fantastic and then met Janet Paulina Jamie went up to bed with the little ones for dinner. After dinner I was telling Janet how I was to intimidated to play so she sat me on one side and Bobby on the other. She took 80 form me and 300 from Bobby.

I am in Boise Idaho waiting for Bobby to get up so we can hit the road to Vegas. We had a nice dinner together in downtown Boise. Pretty neat little trendy places. I had pork chops like my dad use to make them with mash potatoes and baked apples and something like sauerkraut. It was just a little more gourmet. Really brought me back. We sat and talked about who he wanted to take to Prom and the way he was going to ask her. They are so creative now a days. I wouldn't know, because I never was asked to any school dances. I was quite the wall flower back then. Maybe that was one of the things that made me so resilient today. I love having Bobby back in my life. It is like having a little piece of Mike back. We are meeting Janet in Vegas for the weekend then heading on to Phoenix. I know Bobby is excited about seeing his friends. I can't blame him he is still just a kid. Better wake him up so we can get a early start for our 11 hour drive.
