Good evening all, My apologies for being out of touch for so long. I have missed being here and see that for some, challenges continue...

As I had told Brian, I had my 5 year check with a chest x-ray since I posted last. In my doctor's words "your cured" The chest x-ray also no change. You might expect that this was a huge relief and put this all behind me. Oddly (OR NOT) this is not entirely the case. I'll post more on this later.

As for our business things are progressing. I'd rather post on that later as well.

For now I hope to have time to get connected again with my friends here at OCF. It may be sporadic for a while but I'll do what I can.

Thank you for all of your kind words!
