And it was just such a moment today Janie! Really there were several.

Karen and I went up to Columbus on her first road trip since the back surgery and she just did GREAT! No pain and she is getting her strength back. And we stopped and bought a new stick mixer.....a nice Cuisinart that ought to last forever. When we got home my meat slicer had arrived! What a birthday! Also ordered all new Landau scrubs for Karen and found the perfect gift for our grand niece's birthday.

All the while though, Karen and I were happy to be out and about with each other.   We always have a date day once a month and somehow this one was extra special. 26 years ago at about this time I went out on the first blind date I'd been on since jr. high school. When I met Karen I knew this was my true soulmate. I am the most fortunate man on the planet. I know that. She won't be back at work until July.................Can I tell you how happy I am about that?

Thanks to all of you well wishers and other assorted strange people. You have come to mean much to both Karen and I......many thanks....................................................and kiss my ass....................................
