Frank, like Kay I was hesitant to open the thread. But glad I did and soooooooo happy for both you and Honey that the biopsy was negative!!

Trust me, I know the tremendous weight that's just been lifted from your shoulders!!!

Thanks for sharing the good news!

Greetings All,

Thanks to each and every one of you for your kind words.

As far as an update on myself, I am doing great. I am most happy about losing 20 pounds in the past 5 weeks without any struggle. I was feeling worse than I ever had at any point in my life and simply could not go on the way I was living. I feel as if I have lost 50 pounds.

Normally, I start my diets in the spring. This time I plan to be finished before spring arrives. I continuously amaze myself at what I am able to accomplish once I seriously commit to a project. Although I am blessed with many gifts (superior intellect, sexual prowess, the ability to leap tall buildings in a single bound), it is my indomitable will that is far and away the most beneficial, although there is something to be said for the sexual prowess.

I have enjoyed my break from the various forums I frequent and have come to realize that not participating in some discussions has brought a sense of inner peace and calm to my everyday existence. It has also created more time to pursue things that I had lost sight of as it relates to their importance in my life. I am learning new software, doing a little writing and helping my last remaining client get ready for a product launch.

Although I haven't made a firm decision to move forward on this, I am beginning to look at properties for sale in my area that have at least 25 acres of land and are partially cleared. I have regretted selling my farm and think that is how I want Honey and I to spend our final years. So, the hunt is on. No, I won't sell the lake house. No one is getting that until I die. lol My last farm was only 6 miles from this house and while farm land is being eaten up by housing development, this is still the boondocks in any sense of the word. With luck, I'll find something within 10 or 15 miles of here. That's plenty close enough.

I am, of course putting as many miles as I possibly can on the Bimmer and unfortunately I am now looking for someplace to store it for the winter. I simply won't drive it if I can't have the top down. lol

The leaves are just beginning to fall and another summer is in the rear view mirror. Life continues to zoom by. Where did it go? Need to make the most of what's left.

Be well, all of you. I'm not hard to find if you require anything from me.

Cheers. - Frank
