Where Has Kevin Been

  The long and short of it is I've been buried in pain and unconsciousness.  When I've been well enough to be awake and about, I've spent that time with my family.  My humblest apology to all my readers for this neglect.  I value your opinions, thoughts, feelings, and all the care and respect that you've showered me with.  I'm sorry that my two blogging projects were put on hold for so long, and I'm looking forward to getting back into them.

  I find it vaguely humorous that this dilemma is exactly why I stopped guitar lessons.  I loved to teach, but when I had the strength to do anything I did it with my family.  This time around has been more about me not being able to do much of anything over the past weeks.  I've been getting up, eating, and trying desperately to get back to sleep to avoid my pain.  Typically, this process ends when I pass out on the couch from the pain, and come to some time later to get a drink, and then repeat the process.
  Not all days have been bad.  I had a nice, long day last week, spending time with my best friend, Jhon Baker.  That adventure took place on Wednesday and I didn't recover until late yesterday.  I was able to go watch my son swim again last week.  That half hour ordeal left me worried that I wouldn't be able to make the Wednesday trip...
 
  This is the way my life works; is carefully balanced.  I have to select what I want to spend time on, and let go of everything else.
