Hello, all.  Very happy to say that I survived surgery and I'm back home to continue my recovery.  It's certainly not been a linear path to recovery by any stretch of the imagination.

For now, however, it is late.  Any writing I begin at this point will be either:  1. Very brief, as I quite tired. or 2. Rambling, as I have so much to say.  Knowing this, I am now going to retire for the evening and catch up with you later.

Good night.
