Hi all

Due to a few complications, such as when I was returning from an
appointment
(my sister was driving), when we were on the freeway someone started to
change lanes into us. My sister had to do some violent manuevering to
avoid
the accident, but it had me getting slammed about the truck, into the door
and etc. Then another similar experienced layed me up for most of Dec and
Jan. Also, in early Dec I made the mistake of entrusting my computer to
the
wrong repairman who left me with an unstable install of XP Pro, and no
internet connectivity. I finally had to buy a copy of XP, and a new moden.
Due to my incapcity, though I should have been able to fix it myself. I
was
so limited as to vertical time that, for instance, living in this Assisted
Living Facility (ALF), just going down stairs for one cigarette was pretty
nearly overwhelming from the pain. Thus when I really need you all the
most,
I couldn't get there.

This two month pain bounce has been one of the worst I've ever
experienced.
Anyway, it's good to be back. A hell of a lot has happened, my son went to
Iraq, my brother was at the Colorado River, and while loading the boat
onto
the trailer, my brother was driving, when his brother-in-law (his wife's
sister's husband, and a very good man.) somehow slipped and was killed,
when my son got back from Iraq he came home to a divorce.

I've also gotten in good enough shape that after dark I can drive my
blazer
to a semi-empty area of the ALF parking lot and have a smoke (this is
California, if you know what I mean. One nice thing about this is that I
don't need pain killers when I can smoke.) Anyway, one night while
listening
to The Who, Live At Leeds, the song was: A Quick One While He's Away. The
song is about self-forgiveness. One night I was singing along with the
music, only I personalized it for my own childhood physical, emotional,
and
sexual abuse and, somehow, I achieved self-forgiveness. Since then it's
been
like scales are falling from my eyes and ears, walls are crumbling, and
I'm
living in the happiest world I've known. Things have changed that much for
me.

Anyway, I've sat up enough, and now I'm going to write a letter to a
(close)
cousin whose father (my uncle) died last week.
