December 26, 2011... Many thanks to those of you who read my recent family trivia post and sent your wellwishes. Throughout this ordeal I have sought no council. I have great confidence in our own inner strength and innate instincts. We know what's right and wrong and we should follow our nose.

I guess that's what these blogs are about. I'm healed up as about as far as I think I'm going to get so ... back to work and to my other Home in the West End of the UP. I start Monday the 5th here on a restoration project in Marquette and will be at home until after the Holidays. The Xoom locked up this past week, so we lost internet connection for a few days.
