“You are going to feel like hell if you never write the stuff that is tugging on the sleeves of your heart — your stories, visions, memories, visions and songs. Your truth, your version of things, your own voice. That is really all you have to offer us. And that’s also why you were born.”

Back at Work

George 0 Comments

I had the day off from work yesterday but I’m back in the saddle today. It continues to be an interesting and rewarding experience. It is strange to be looking forward to a “three day weekend”.

We are continuing the process of selling and purchasing homes, getting ready to move, discovering all the small, but important things, that need to be done. For example, internet providers, phone service, all of the address revisions, bank accounts, and the list goes on.

I am in the process of notifying everyone that my main e-mail address is changing to george@georgeezell.com from geze@insightbb.com. The new e-mail address is active so you can go ahead and  change your address book. I’m going to try AT&T laptop broadband connection for the internet and if that works out we will probably drop our land line telephone and just use our cell phones. We would be getting a new number anyway, so it seems like a good time to make the change.

 We are in the midst of getting prices for work we want to do on our new house. That is fun and I look forward to “fluffing our nest”.

Taking a Ride

dsc08017.JPG

TEAM OF TWO. Yesterday, Mike and I successfully completed our 35+ mile Tour de  Cure bike ride for the American Diabetes Association. It was a great work out. The weather was not as bad as I had anticipated but it was hot enough. THANKS to all of you who helped raise nearly $600 for the cause. If you were skeptical about whether or not I would be able to complete the ride, it not too late to donate to the ADA.

Thanks to Mike for joining me and all the encouragement he brings to my life.

The Finger

Ann’s surgery was successful. They removed what was described as a large cell tumor (benign). She will see the doctor in 2 weeks. I expect she will be limited for a day or so and then she can do what ever she is able with a bandaged finger. I am trying hard to be a good nurse. It is good thing I have a self-sufficient patient.

This Week

Tomorrow Ann has surgery on her finger. Since it is her right hand, I expect she will be somewhat limited for a while. I have a MRI on my back Wednesday. The doctor didn’t find anything from x-rays. I am pretty uncomfortable when I sit for a prolonged time. Hopefully the MRI will give some idea what I can expect and what kind of treatment is needed. I’m biking the Tour de Cure on Saturday. It is 35 miles which is the longest I’ve done. Tanya’s kids will be with us Friday to Sunday. It will be a busy week.

We are continuing to get ready to move to Wilmore. It looks like we’ll be gone by Oct. 1. I’m looking forward to getting there. We have a trip to Memphis and St.Louis planned in late September. We will see Scott and Allison and visit our friends from Kansas City in StL. Hopefully the weather will cool off by then.
