Doctor tells me I’m great shape at this point. No needed medications or serious issues. Still active, enjoying a liveaboard life….sailing, diving, spearfishing, or just enjoying hours snorkeling a reef. Those activities in itself keeps the cranial screaming to a minimum. A local group that meets frequently to plan and protest these absurd times help keep me driving ahead to protect my family from this diseased administration.

I guess what prompted the change was that my youngest quit early last year with the thought of taking better care of herself. Thought I would follow her example. See how it goes….
Peace ☮️
