Right up front: this ain't a "poor pitiful me" post. Life on life's terms is what it is. So, at the beginning of the year, I got some unwelcome news after a prostate check, followed up by a biopsy; I am now officially one of those fellas around the country diagnosed with cancer. I am told it's quite curable, but this will involve removing the traitorous organ, and other significant changes. To my mind it beats the shit out of an early dirt nap. What I am leading up to is this: if you're a fella over 50, do yourself a favor and Get. Checked. Regardless of your age, pay attention to what your body is telling you, and you just might live a lot longer.
Every Friday, damn straight. Bring. Them. Home!
Jayne at 5.5 months..46.5 pounds. He is part of the pack now, the grrls having accepted him; they even school him in the household routine! His fusion with the pack has gone much faster than I thought it would. Much credit to my Loki, and the grrls too, for bringing the wrinkleheaded knucklehead along.
Mr. Jayne at 6 months. Filling out, in a growth surge now(taller and longer). Weighed in at 55lbs on Saturday the 16th. Loves to run and play, full of affection at all times. That's my boy!
One of my pieces. Stone cutting and silversmithing for 43 years now.
Riding the Mackay Loop, up into the Sawtooth Range, 2009, with Kev, Steve, & Brett...and now it’s just Steve and I. Big Kev and Brett have passed the Veil...miss you, my brothers. Looking forward to being in Idaho again.
Holly jolly shapeshift, to you!
The man who raised me. 23 years after his passing, 3-21-2000; certain songs remind me sharply of how much I miss his voice and presence...I know in my heart that gentle Warrior flys free, as, from time to time, Red-tailed Hawks pay closer attention to me than should be warranted. On his birthday, 06/17.
Solstice dawn, this year...shortly after my sweet daughter-in-law passed through the Veil. Rest in the Summerlands, Kristin...
Some of the jewelry I make, my photography, and sharing things that delight and inform me...
