Reports Of My Death Have Been Greatly Exaggerated

Alright, none of you thought I was dead, but I was closer than you'd think. The month of February was one of the most stressful months I've had in the past 20 years. I was in jeopardy of losing my job. My brother Mark was reported as a missing person. My kids were deathly ill. I watched my family's retirement money shrink down to pre 2000 levels. There were a few times in February that I thought I was having a stroke. Racing thoughts, heart palpitations, tingling of the extremities. I haven't had that much anxiety since I took a white shit (read here about my white shit). Don't laugh. You take a white shit and see if you don't feel like you've lost your mind.

Even though we here in New England got hammered with a 12 inch snowstorm, March came in like a lamb for me. My skating rink is back from the dead. I turned 44 on the first and got some great gifts. My troubles have subsided to manageable levels. St. Paddy's will be here soon which means spring is just around the corner. That means coaching baseball, watching baseball, playing golf, feeling alive again. Things are looking up.

When I started this blog thing I knew that it would Eb and flow. I hemmed and hawed for months whether to start a blog because I knew I wouldn't be able to be as prolific as I wished (ala my cuz, Suldog) due to my busy life. I realistically thought I could post once per week. That's been my average over the past two years. Some months I posted a dozen times and others I've posted once. I promised in my first post that I wouldn't write for the sake of writing, so my posts will be frequent when I have time and energy and be non existent when life is being lived instead of being written about. When I disappear for a week or a month it's most likely because I'm living life.

I AM alive and kicking!

Sorry We missed your birthday. As you know we were on the road.
We are so happy for the snow, and when we return to NC it will be in the 70's...ahhhhhh that is why we love to VISIT the north and live in the south.
We hope to see you in the next day or two...
Love Deb

Damn. Chill, Cuz. I mean that in a friendly way, of course. Have a brew, relax, get your feet firmly planted on the ground before moving forward.

Prayer said for you, of course.

Oh, and glad you got a kick out of the Zamboni story ;-)

You shit a WHITE shit?!

What the Fuck man. Did you take pictures and send that shit into Quinness Book of World Records?
That has got to be a first and hopefully a last.

LOL

How was your trip down South?

glad you're getting back on top of things. I hear you, things can get rough. I was laid off in October, but lucky enough to get another job pretty quickly. Also had yet more housing issues, but Mrs. EC, BB EC and I are back on the North Shore where we're happy. Hopefully be back in swing with the blogging thing.
