OK!  I am back after a long bout with second thoughts and underground hostility.  It seems that being in pain and suffering illness does indeed affect your outlook on life. Before I retired work drained any reflection of life out of me but seduced me with the notion that I really was doing something worthy.  However, rather than dwell upon the sad effects of that realization, I am here to scream at the world,  I'm Back!  

     Thanks to friends and acquaintances  especially those in pottery, RV, and past school buddies, I am encouraged to take forward steps.  I just got back from a little vacation to the island of Kauai.  There I did NOTHING!  I did it good and lots of it.  Every day I would say to myself, "you came here to get stronger".  I rested, read, caught up with correspondence and did I say, rested.  At the end of the week I was mimicking bird calls and drinking Longnecks by the bar.  Definitely getting stronger!  

     I am on a quest to build a website.  Not an easy task, but one I feel necessary to showcase my pottery for those wonderful interested patrons. (I am as surprised as you might be)  I also hope to tweak this blog.  Hopefully to make it more attractive.  Wish me luck.
