Good Update

Well, Rich is out of the hospital and back home, things are back to "normal" if there is such a thing, haha...

As for myself, I just wanted to say for the first time since I've been going down the C road, I can honestly say that it's gone or is taking a long break. For the first time in what seems like an eternity, I feel like a normal person (relatively speaking) again. Yes, I still do have issues like a messed up back and chronic fatigue but I've somehow found a way to weave these things into a normal life. There is a caveat to the above statement however but to me it's irrelevant. I might very well have small active disease in me (scans next week, will find out for sure) but even if I do, it really doesn't matter. What matters is that I'm once again looking ahead (in a healthy way, still living in the moment of course) and making plans for myself. I think I'm going to finally get my real estate license down here in Florida and Michigan as well. Since I've been in sales my entire professional career I thought real estate would be perfect as I'd work for myself and could ease into it as conditions dictate. I think it's going to be a fun new endeavor and a good way to dip in and out of being a professional and also a cancer survivor. I've mostly remodeled two houses now and as I'm finishing up, think it's time for me to once again pursue a somewhat normal career. We'll see what happens...

So, tomorrow I'm going down to Miami to see one of my all time favorite bands, Radiohead! I've been really fortunate to see some great shows this winter down here like My Morning Jacket and G Love and Special Sauce and looking forward to seeing the Black Keys in Detroit next week. Last week, I was invited to see Electric Light Orchestra at the Seminole Casino in Coconut Creek. I remember their music as a kid hanging hanging out at my Auntie Vi and Uncle Felix's place during the holidays. We'd be up in my Godfather Pat's room (I think, long time ago) and remember them playing ELO albums and everyone would be dancing, what a trip...! When I heard the band playing some of those songs, it was pretty cool and surreal. I have to say, they sounded really good for a bunch of old farts, haha.

Looking forward to a great night tomorrow and a continued fun winter down here in Sofla!

Cheers,

Chris
