No, I did not drop off the face of the earth

I've just been really busy.

Weight -- I got down to 180, but I'm back to 190 right now. Haven't had my BP done for a couple of months. Time to get serious again.

Part of the problem is EXERCISE. I just can't make myself get up at 6:00 a.m. to go out in the freezing weather and ride my bike and get all sweaty. And I was enjoying the bike rides so much that I don't want to get bummed out on it. So soon it will be warm again. After all, Tennessee winters aren't that terrible.

In the rest of my life -- allow me to brag for a minute. My youngest son got his Associates Degree and is at home for a little while until he gets on his feet. My middle son gets his PhD (YEAH!!!) in May. My art is still a huge part of my life (http://www.valry.com) and I will be in a gallery soon. I've become a CASA volunteer and I REALLY recommend it to any and everyone (http://www.nationalcasa.org). ). Work is challenging as I continue to try to master a new line of equipment (http://www.emc.com/products/systems/clariion_cx3_series.jsp if you want to see). I work on that and Dell servers, which I've been repairing the Dell servers for years and feel much more competent there.

So that's my life. Keeping busy and VERY happy.
