Well its been several weeks since my last post. I wish I could say that its been all fun. The reality I'm afraid is far from it. While the beginning of my hiatus was marked with fun and friends the past week has been depressing. Those who know me will know whats going on but for now I will just say that some one very close to me has become ill again. While this was always a possibility it was not an inevitability. Cancer is never a certainty you are never really sure if you got it all or if its completely gone. Apparently this is the case today. Despite a quick response and a successful outcome the first time its not looking like it will be a repeat performance this time and it is not looking good at all. Truthfully I am not sure I want to blog anymore. My thoughts are not there and when they are they are far more serious than anything I've spoken of to date.
I think I need some time away...

To get to the other side.
Ever have one of those days that you feel that your the punch line to some cosmic joke. That was today. I had an awesome weekend. The details to follow in a subsequent post. Today thought everyone seemed on edge and half way through the day I felt it all being projected at me. It was enough to freak me out and shut down. Come 5 I was spent and privately wishing I had another long weekend to look forward to. No such luck next one is Labor Day ugh. I'm sure its just a funk and I will snap out of it and be my normal self again. Fortunately a very good friend is a Massage Therapist and did a little work on my shoulders to destress me tonight.
So for the rest of this blog I'm just going to focus on the good things about this past weekend. I went to Vermont, no shock there. It was fun and despite the traffic the ride up was not bad as Nora had lent me an audio book. Prey by Michael Crighton. I liked it and it kept my mind off the traffic and made the ride all the more pleasurable. Upon arriving my friends were out so I entertained myself with a little TV. Definitely a treat and it proved beyond a shadow of a doubt my ecclectic taste as I was switching back and forth between the Military Channel's Weaponology and Kathy Griffin's Life on the D-List.
Friday I woke to some great wheather. Sunny mid 80's and low humidity picture perfect days really. I would later learn that the Mass weather was not so nice, as one friend of mine put it so coloquilly as "hot as a crotch". ewww Glad I could miss it. I did get a chance to do some ballooning but thats tomorrow's post. Saturday I went and saw Wall-E. Probably the BEST Disney flick I have seen in a while. Not too schmaltzy, it was just right and yes the dialogue is almost not there which is why the movie is all that more impressive. I suggest you actually go out and see this one. I also helped some friends put in some windows. Yes I can be manly and do work with power tools. In truth its not all that much different than the equipment I worked with in my grandfather's shop years ago. The only difference is its smaller and has more safety features. Windows went in well and level I might add and then we cooked out on the grill. A great reward for the days work, but then it was time to depart back to Mass. Definitely not my favorite part of trip but it gave me a chance to finish the audio book.
I look forward to the next time I get up there hopefully it will be sooner rather than later.
