Most of you are in touch via talk or blog so there is not much new news. For the isolated few and any curious angels - here is a recap of the last year's fantastic events.

We spent Christmas 2016 in Mexico with Camille & Bole' in Queretaro. It was the holiday of a lifetime. I'll have memories for ever and I'll certainly go back to that beautiful old city.

In February I had my other (right) hip replaced. It was a State-of-the-art operation by a superstar surgeon (I am "1 lucky guy") in Cumming GA.

Out-patient hip replacement!! I was out and heading home by noon same day! Still Amazing. I'm all healed up now and daily grateful for modern medical science & core planet hospitals.
The rest of my health is pretty good, thanx.

We began a new musical endeavor - The Tuners - softer and more accoustic than the blasto bar room R&R I'd been playing for the last few years. Sweeter material. I like it and it spreads the Light just fine.


Here is a photo. I know you can't hear a picture but you can tell we're having fun!


I also visited Ben in California. It was fantastic & enlighterning. A very nifty country out there.

Brother Mike has been in residence all year and it is a very pleasant situation. Mike is a great guy and an obsessive repairman so the homestead keeps getting magically renewed. Thanx Mike!

He's heading back down to FL for the winter. It's been almost two years and he needs to do some catching up & family visits. He'll likely be back when the Motel he maintains opens up for Spring. They like his work.

I officially became an old man. Not so bad. It happened unexpectedly. One day Mike handed me an old pocket knife. It was my grandfather's and now it's mine and so I have joined the ranks of mature men of the world all of whom carry sharp little blades.

I am seeing a girl who calls me sweetie. I am very happy now and looking forward to any future.

May you be joyfully imbued & totally steeped in the Spirit of the Season.
Witness it, Breathe it, Maintain it - Love.
