I promised my regular readers an update on my status by now. I'm being treated for my illness and am recovering. I'm still dealing with aftereffects, feeling "fuzzy" mentally and finding it difficult to focus. I'm told that's normal. Fortunately my son and numerous other friends and relatives have been very helpful and supportive.

About that kickstand...

The trouble is that TOP, as Ken Tanaka once memorably said, is a "bicycle business"…stop pedaling, and it falls over. It's difficult to step away and trust that I'm not wrecking the enterprise. I'm still not feeling well enough to get back to posting and moderating quite yet, but hopefully it will only be a short while longer.

So are you enjoying the "rerun" posts, or are they just old songs you don't need to hear again? If people seem to be liking them, I'll put more work into posting more until I gear up again.

Anyway, not to worry. I'm doing everything I should to get good treatment, and, in the immortal words of MacArthur, I shall return!

Votre bloggeur,

Mike
