been a long time...

 I've never gone anywhere near a year without writing,  ever.  I was amazed to see the gap from my last post.  wow!   so much has transpired since.   still riding and lifting and trying to maintain inner peace despite delays and postponed sabbaticals... hopefully i can discuss that with detail and knowledge in November.  my latest planned month to take the trip to Fresno.    kids start kindergarten next week and another chapter of my life will begin. much anxiety and excitement for them and me, lol.   think I'll be able to maintain my thoughts again.   good to be home
